## Why gmail_users_settings_cse_keypairs_get is rated Low

This tool retrieves cryptographic keypair material used for client-side encryption in Gmail. While it is fundamentally a Read operation (queries data, no side effects), the severity is elevated to 'high' because exposure of encryption keypairs could enable decryption of encrypted emails and compromise confidentiality of sensitive communications.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get a client-side encryption keypair' — a retrieval operation with no modification capability."
