Why step_file_info is rated Low

STEP is a standard CAD file format. A tool named 'step_file_info' almost certainly retrieves or analyzes file properties (dimensions, parameters, structure) without modifying or executing anything. The lack of verbs like 'modify', 'delete', or 'execute' in the name, combined with the context of design analysis tools ('analyze_design_requirements') on this server, suggests read-only information retrieval.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'step_file_info' suggests retrieval of metadata or information about STEP files (a common CAD format). No description provided, but the naming convention and context of a 3D printer control system indicate a query/inspection operation.
