This tool queries the current equalization configuration of a Sonos device. It performs no state changes, executes no commands, and has no destructive, financial, or code-execution implications. The only potential concern is minor privacy (learning device settings), but this is negligible in a local network context where the user controls the Sonos device. Classified as Read with low severity.
