Network diagnostics typically involve querying system state, gathering metrics, and reporting findings—classic Read operations. No evidence of execution (running scripts/commands), modification (Write), deletion (Destructive), or financial impact. Low severity because diagnostic tools have minimal blast radius even if misused; they cannot alter system state or cause cascading damage.
