## Why positions_get is rated Low

This tool retrieves current open positions from the trading account without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any trades. It is purely informational and has no adverse effects if called by an AI agent. The lack of parameters that could cause harm and the read-only nature place it firmly in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'positions_get' and description 'Get open positions' indicates a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. The verb 'Get' is characteristic of read-only operations."

## Use case

AI agents call positions_get 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.
