Why stateset_list_users is rated Low
This tool retrieves user data (names, roles, permissions) without modifying or deleting information. It falls squarely into the Read category. Severity is medium rather than low because user lists reveal organizational structure and access control information that could inform privilege escalation attacks if exposed to an untrusted agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Lists all users' and 'Returns user details including roles and permissions', which is a retrieval operation. The verb 'Lists' and action 'Returns' confirm data query functionality with no modification.
