Why ftg_business_ideas is rated Low
The tool retrieves and returns pre-existing business ideas from a data bank with associated scoring and projections. It is a read/query operation with no side effects — it does not create, modify, delete, or transact anything. The only financial context is informational (MRR projections), not actual financial transactions. Severity is low as misuse only results in unnecessary API call costs (x402 per-call).
