It has no side effects and presents minimal risk even if misused by an agent—the worst outcome would be information disclosure. The low severity reflects that querying traffic class configuration is a benign administrative read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_traffic_class' and description 'Get traffic class details' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' is explicitly read-only, and 'traffic class details' are configuration/state data being queried.
