It questions whether creating the tiger is too dangerous.

Explanation:

Although the poem does not clarify who "he" is meant to be, we can safely assume that the pronoun refers to the creator of the tyger. We have learned throughout the poem that the tyger is a creature of mystery and enormous power. Such a powerful thing must have an equally powerful creator. The creator is compared to Icarus, as Icarus was arrogant and boastful enough to do something very dangerous that led to tragedy. The author questions whether this is the case with this creator as well. Perhaps, by creating the dangeours tyger, he us being too daring.
