Why ftg_business_ideas is rated Low
The tool retrieves and returns pre-existing business ideas from a database/bank. It is a read/query operation with no side effects — it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything, nor does it move money. The optional inputs (category, limit) are filters for the query. Severity is low as misuse would at most return irrelevant business ideas.
