What order_check does on MCP Trader Server

AI agents call order_check 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.

Why order_check is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only validation check of order parameters before execution. It retrieves information about whether an order is feasible but does not execute, create, delete, or commit any financial transaction. The check is a prerequisite step that gathers data to inform decision-making, not an action that moves money or triggers irreversible changes.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'order_check' and description 'Check if an order can be placed' indicate a query/validation operation that retrieves status information without modifying, executing, or committing any transaction.
