## Why copy_ticks_range is rated Low

The name 'copy_ticks_range' strongly resembles the MetaTrader 5 function CopyTicksRange(), which fetches historical tick data for a given time range. This is a read operation with no side effects. Severity is medium rather than low because the server context involves live trading and sensitive market data, though the tool itself only reads. Confidence is reduced due to the empty description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'copy_ticks_range' suggests retrieving tick data over a range — a read/query operation common in MetaTrader 5 APIs."

## Use case

AI agents call copy_ticks_range to retrieve information from MCP Trader 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 MCP Trader Server:

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