## Why get_positions is rated Low

The 'get_' prefix and 'positions' terminology indicate a data retrieval operation with no side effects. Position data in trading platforms is sensitive financial information, warranting 'high' severity due to exposure of account financial state, but the tool itself performs no write, execute, or financial transaction actions. No irreversibility or external execution involved.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_positions' suggests retrieval of trading positions data. Context: Groww MCP Server for trading platform; sibling tools include 'get_holdings', 'get_live_ltp', 'get_active_subscriptions' (all Read operations)."

## Use case

AI agents call get_positions to retrieve information from Groww 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 Groww MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
