## Why get_positions is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays data about existing positions without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any trades or state changes. It has minimal blast radius—the only risk is information disclosure if an attacker gains access, but no financial loss or irreversible action can occur through this tool alone. Classification as Read is appropriate.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_positions' and description 'All open positions across all markets in the configured sub-account' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_positions to retrieve information from Lighter MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
