What contract-testing_list_secrets does on SmartBear MCP

Why contract-testing_list_secrets is rated Low
This is a Read operation: it retrieves data (secrets) without side effects. However, severity is elevated to 'high' because the data retrieved is sensitive (secrets/credentials), which poses a significant risk if exposed to an unauthorized or compromised AI agent. The tool itself is not destructive or executable, but the information it exposes could enable further attacks or unauthorized access.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'list' and description states 'Retrieve all secrets stored in the workspace' — a query operation with no modification or deletion.
