Why refresh_hdf5_resources is rated Medium

This tool modifies the state of HDF5 resource metadata by rescanning and updating available resources. While it does not delete data (Destructive) or execute arbitrary code (Execute), it does perform a state-changing operation that alters what resources are available or visible in the system. The scope is limited to metadata/resource registration rather than data content, making it Write rather than more severe.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Re-scan client roots and update available HDF5 resources.' The verb 'update' indicates modification of state, and 'refresh' implies synchronization that changes metadata or resource registrations.
