Why cloudinary_list_resources is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves a list of media resources from Cloudinary storage. The 'list' operation is inherently read-only; it has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete resources, or involve financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could enumerate media assets but cannot alter or remove them.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List Cloudinary media resources' — a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion capability.
