Why getDirectMessagesEvents is rated Low
This tool queries and retrieves direct message event data without any capability to create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The verb 'List' and 'get' prefix are characteristic of Read operations. The blast radius is limited to information disclosure of the user's own direct message history, which is low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getDirectMessagesEvents' and description 'List direct message events across all conversations' clearly indicate a retrieval operation with no modification capability.
