## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_signal_history",
    "arguments": {}

## Why get_signal_history is rated Low

This tool retrieves historical signal data with no side effects. Even in a financial context, viewing historical signals is informational (Read category) rather than executing trades (Execute), moving money (Financial), or deleting data (Destructive). The low severity reflects that misuse would only allow an agent to access past data, not commit actual financial transactions or cause irreversible harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_signal_history' indicates historical data retrieval. Description is truncated ('View Fathom\') but the name and context (financial intelligence data sources for AI agents) suggest querying past signal data rather than executing trades or…"

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Fathom Fyi:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_signal_history": {}
  }
}
```
