## Why get_tickers is rated Low

This tool retrieves ticker information for financial instruments. It performs a read-only query with no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute arbitrary operations, and does not commit financial transactions. While it accesses financial market data, the tool itself merely queries and returns information without enabling trades, transfers, or other actionable financial operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_tickers' and description 'Get tickers for all instruments of a given type' indicate a query operation that retrieves market data."

## Use case

AI agents call get_tickers to retrieve information from Derive 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)

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

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