While the server itself includes tools capable of write operations (snapchat_update_campaign_budget, snapchat_update_status), this specific tool is purely read-only. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—exposing performance metrics does not enable financial transactions, data destruction, or code execution.
From the tool's definition The tool name and description indicate it 'Get[s] performance statistics' with no mention of modifications, deletions, or state changes. It is a retrieval operation (get) that returns data about existing campaigns, ad squads, or ads.
