Why validate_pan is rated Low

PAN (Permanent Account Number) validation is a read operation that queries government data to verify identity documents. It retrieves or checks data without modifying it. Severity is medium rather than low because validation of sensitive identity documents (PAN is linked to Indian tax identity and financial accounts) could enable reconnaissance for fraud or identity misuse if an agent calls it with arbitrary inputs.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'validate_pan' with sibling tools like 'bulk_validate_aadhaar', 'bulk_validate_gstin', 'bulk_validate_ifsc', 'bulk_validate_pan' all indicate validation/lookup operations.
