How much information does the WC have

They were both still advancing to the attack. Neither was a threat, and Harry had more than enough power to do whatever he wanted, and he chose to simply restrain.

So the incident really doesn't reveal what the island could really do if pressed.

He's the Death Star turbolaser, an incredibly devastating shot - but single shot and reload. He alternated between Lara and Freydis. He didn't hit both at the same time.

Because Harry didn't want them dead just subdued. He used his bare minimum powers. If he had hit them with the powers that he learned of that were capable of stopping the Nemesis beach landing, I think we wouldn't find the pieces without a microscope. That Deathstar turbo-laser is a pretty wide beam compared to a man-sized object though. I think it would constitute an area of effect big enough to handle a small group of humans on a beach.

In terms of the island's defenses vs. multiple opponents at one time, I think we really don't know. We haven't seen it need to do that.
However, I surmise the island can deal with that -- "ganging up" is a classic tactic, and I cannot imagine the OG Merlin (who designed the defenses) would leave such an obvious, gaping hole.

Right. We don't KNOW what it can do.
