## Why arvan_iac_checkov is rated Low

arvan_iac_checkov is a security scanning tool that analyzes IaC configurations to identify issues. It reads and evaluates code/configurations without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing infrastructure. This is a pure analysis/audit function with no side effects on live infrastructure, making it a Read-category tool with low severity risk if misused by an agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs scanning and analysis of Infrastructure as Code for misconfigurations and security issues. The verb 'Scan' and the context of Checkov (a static analysis tool) indicate retrieval and analysis of data without modification, deletion, or execution…"
