Why get_prices is rated Low
This tool retrieves publicly available market data without side effects, state changes, or ability to execute trades or move funds. While the server context mentions micropayments and trading, this specific tool is strictly informational. Severity is low because misuse (e.g., excessive queries) has minimal blast radius compared to tools that could execute trades or access micropayment systems.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get real-time crypto prices' with return values limited to 'USD price, 24h change, volume, market cap' — pure data retrieval with no modification, execution, or financial transaction capability.
