## Why reg_cfr_titles is rated Low

This tool performs a simple enumeration of federal regulation titles and their metadata. It retrieves information with no side effects, modifications, or external operations triggered.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'List the 50 Code of Federal Regulations titles' - a read-only listing operation that retrieves regulatory metadata (title names and currency dates) without modification, deletion, or execution."
