WHAT IT DOES

What market_snapshot does on Gateway

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

RISK

Why market_snapshot is rated Low

This is a passive data retrieval tool that queries and displays publicly available financial market information. While it relates to financial data, it performs no financial transactions, commitments, money movement, or irreversible actions. The 'best-effort' qualifier and individual row degradation indicate read-only behavior with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves public market data (indexes, rates, commodities, crypto, VIX prices and percent changes) with no modification, creation, or destruction of data. Description states 'free public data' and uses passive 'dashboard' language.

market_snapshot Allowed

market_snapshot is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
