Why analyze_diff-risk is rated Low
This tool reads and evaluates a git diff to assess risk, which is a query/analysis operation with no side effects. It retrieves information about code changes and produces a risk score or report, but does not execute code, modify data, delete anything, or move money. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only produce incorrect risk assessments, not harm systems or data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze_diff-risk' and description 'Quick risk assessment for git diff' indicate analysis and assessment of existing data (a git diff), with no modification, execution, or deletion. The term 'analyze' and 'assessment' are passive operations.
