## Why TRELLO_GET_SEARCH is rated Low

This tool performs a query/search operation that retrieves existing data from Trello without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The return of search results is a classic Read operation. The blast radius is low—misuse would at worst expose information the user already has access to, but cannot cause data loss or financial harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'GET_SEARCH' and description states it 'Searches Trello content (e.g., boards, cards, members)' with 'customizable result fields.' Search and retrieval operations are read-only with no side effects."

Risk signals: Accepts freeform code/query input (query) · High parameter count (20 properties)
