WHAT IT DOES

What finish_quiz_attempt does on Moodle

`attemptId`	integer	Yes	The attempt's id, as start_quiz_attempt or get_quiz_info gives it

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why finish_quiz_attempt is rated Low

Even though finish_quiz_attempt only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
