This tool performs a read-only query of documentation resources. It retrieves and presents existing information about SDK methods, parameters, and usage examples without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects on data or systems. The low severity reflects that misuse simply returns irrelevant documentation—no blast radius on actual data or operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_docs' combined with description stating it 'Search SDK documentation to find methods, parameters, and usage examples'. The phrase 'find' and 'search' indicates information retrieval without modification of underlying systems.
