Why onedrive_read is rated Low
This tool only retrieves information about files stored in OneDrive and provides a preview. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. While it accesses potentially sensitive files, the read-only nature and the limitation to metadata and safe previews means it presents low blast radius if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'read' and description states 'Read OneDrive file metadata and a safe text preview when available.' The operations are retrieval-only (metadata and preview), with no modification or deletion capabilities.
