Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs a search/lookup operation to retrieve user information by name. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. It is purely informational retrieval, fitting the 'Read' category. The low severity reflects that user search results typically contain non-sensitive directory-level data and would have minimal blast radius if misused in an automated context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_users' combined with description 'Search users by name (quick lookup)' indicates a query operation. The verb 'search' and qualifier 'quick lookup' are consistent with retrieval without modification.
