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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "single_quote",
    "arguments": {}

```

## Why single_quote is rated Low

This tool retrieves a single market quote (price data), which is a read-only query operation with no side effects. It fetches market data without modifying, executing code, or affecting financial transactions. The singular 'single_quote' (vs batch variant) indicates it retrieves one data record. No evidence suggests destructive, write, execute, or financial transaction capabilities.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'single_quote' combined with server description stating it 'Exposes iTick REST API as MCP tools, providing market data for stocks, crypto, forex, indices, futures, and funds including tick, quote, depth, and kline.' The sibling tools include…"

## Use case

AI agents call single_quote to retrieve information from Itick 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 Itick:

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