Why cve_lookup is rated Low
This tool retrieves vulnerability information from a CVE database without modifying, executing code, or causing destructive changes.

The blast radius is minimal since it only returns information already in public vulnerability databases.
From the tool's definition The tool name 'cve_lookup' and description 'Lookup CVE details' indicate a query/retrieval operation that accesses CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) information.
