It performs a read-only query that returns information without modifying any data, creating, executing commands, or altering the system state. The scope is limited to editor session history, making it low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'editor_get_recent_scenes' and description 'List recently opened scene paths' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects."

## Use case
