Why get_tool_graph is rated Low

This is a read-only operation that fetches and returns existing data (tool relationship graphs). There is no creation, modification, deletion, execution of external operations, or financial impact. The tool has minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent — at worst it exposes metadata about tool relationships, which is informational only.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Returns a JSON graph' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. The phrase 'grows with usage' describes how the graph data accumulates over time, but the tool itself only queries/retrieves this information.
