RISK

Why ask_assistant is rated Critical

Each invocation triggers a $0.10 micropayment via x402, making this a Financial category tool. While the tool itself only retrieves/answers market questions (Read-like behavior), every call incurs a real financial transaction. Under the severity rules, Financial > all other categories. Severity is high because an AI agent could invoke this tool many times autonomously, accumulating significant charges.

From the tool's definition 'AI crypto trading assistant', '$0.10' micropayment cost per call, 'x402 micropayments' in server description
