## Why getBatchQuotes is rated Low

This tool retrieves real-time market data (stock quotes, prices, volume) without any side effects, modification of data, code execution, or financial transactions. It is a read-only query operation with minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only accesses public market data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getBatchQuotes' and description 'Retrieve multiple real-time stock quotes in a single request' and 'Access current prices, volume, and detailed data' indicate pure data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution capability."

## Use case

AI agents call getBatchQuotes to retrieve information from Financial Modeling Prep 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)
