## Why getHoldings is rated Low

Despite the empty description, the tool name 'getHoldings' and its position among financial tools (buyStock, sellStock) that perform transactions suggests this retrieves holdings data. The absence of action verbs like 'add', 'buy', 'sell', or 'delete' indicates a read-only operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getHoldings' indicates data retrieval without modification. No description provided, but contextually aligns with sibling tool 'getPositions' which retrieves account information."

## Use case

AI agents call getHoldings to retrieve information from Zerodha Kite MCP Server 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)
