Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool only lists or retrieves data about available OpenAI models. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete or move money. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only learn which models are available, which is informational. Therefore, it is classified as Read with low severity.
