No data is modified, deleted, or executed. The only minor concern is that console logs might contain sensitive information (tokens, credentials), but the risk lies in information disclosure rather than in what the tool itself does.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'browser_console_logs' and description 'Return console logs captured since the page opened' indicate passive retrieval of existing log data with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
