Why scientific_notation is rated Low

This is a straightforward mathematical conversion function that reads input, performs a stateless calculation, and returns formatted output. It cannot create, modify, delete data, execute commands, or commit financial transactions. The lack of side effects and the deterministic nature of number formatting makes this a Read category tool with minimal risk if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Convert a number to and from scientific notation' — a pure transformation utility with no side effects, data modification, or external operations.
