AI agents call price_guard_extension to retrieve information from CurrencyGuard Guard Pricing without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though price_guard_extension only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get an indicative price for extending a Guard to a later settlement date. Estimates the additional cost using: (1) the guard fee difference between extended and original expiry, (2) the option bid/ask spread cost from the roll, and (3) the CurrencyGuard extension margin. Returns a breakdown: extensionCost = feeDifference + optionSpreadCost + extensionMargin. Both the original and extended quotes are priced at the same guard rate (the original quote's strike), so the fee difference reflects purely the longer tenor, not market movement. Use this when a customer asks 'how much would it cost to extend my Guard by X months?' Parameters match price_guard plus the two dates.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the CurrencyGuard Guard Pricing MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
