## Why get_pools is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries pool data (win probabilities, shares, prices, time remaining, conviction multiplier info) to inform decision-making. It reads information only and does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. No financial transactions occur from calling this tool alone—it is informational.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_pools' and description 'Get all currently open pools...' indicates retrieval of pool information without modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_pools to retrieve information from Conviction 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 Conviction:

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