This tool triggers a browser action (tab switching) in a running browser automation session. It has no direct data read/write/delete effect, but it does execute a browser UI operation that changes the state of the browser session. Severity is low as it merely navigates between tabs without accessing or modifying data directly.

From the tool's own definition: "Switch to the previous browser tab"
