## Why getUsageInstructions is rated Low

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getUsageInstructions' and description indicate it 'Get[s] critical usage guidelines and best practices' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. The description explicitly states it provides information for correct tool usage."

## Use case
