## Why get_funding_rate_history is rated Low

This tool retrieves historical financial data (funding rates) without modifying, executing code, deleting data, or moving money. It is a pure read operation querying the Derive.xyz public API. The data retrieved is market information that could inform trading decisions but the tool itself performs no transactional or destructive action.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_funding_rate_history' and description states 'Get historical funding rates for a perpetual instrument'. The verb 'Get' and lack of any modification, deletion, or execution language indicate a retrieval operation."
