This tool retrieves and queries existing data from a local database without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation that poses minimal security risk—an AI agent misusing this tool would at worst retrieve architectural or project data, which has low blast radius compared to tools that modify or delete models.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Query stored Revit project and room data' and lists query operations: 'get all projects, get project by ID/name, get rooms by project, get all rooms, or get database statistics.' These are all read-only retrieval operations…
