Why npm_whoami is rated Low

This tool performs an identity verification check (whoami pattern) that queries the npm registry to return account information associated with a token. It has no side effects—it neither modifies data, executes code, deletes resources, nor moves funds. The blast radius is minimal: an attacker could only learn which npm account is configured locally, which is low-sensitivity metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'npm_whoami' and description 'Verify the saved npm access token and return the account it belongs to' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves identity information without modifying or executing anything.
