## Why wallet_isAuthenticated is rated Low

The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent cannot misuse this to compromise funds or cause harm beyond potentially learning authentication state.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'wallet_isAuthenticated' and description 'Checks if the wallet user is authenticated' indicate a query operation that retrieves authentication status without modifying state or executing transactions."

## Use case

AI agents call wallet_isAuthenticated to retrieve information from Bitcoin SV MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
