## Why getESGRatings is rated Low

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'getESGRatings' with description stating 'Access comprehensive ESG ratings' and 'Make informed investment decisions based on...data.' The verb 'get' and 'access' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution of external operations."
