Why format_tool_output_visual is rated Low

The tool name suggests it formats or visually renders tool output, which would be a read/display operation with no side effects. However, the description is entirely empty, so confidence is low. Given the name implies presentation/formatting only, 'Other' or 'Read' could apply, but without evidence of data retrieval, formatting output is closest to 'Other'.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'format_tool_output_visual'; description is empty and uninformative.
