WHAT IT DOES

What data_fetch_ticks does on MetaTrader5 MCP Server

AI agents call data_fetch_ticks to retrieve information from MetaTrader5 MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why data_fetch_ticks is rated Low

Despite empty description, the name structure and server context clearly indicate this retrieves tick data (timestamped trade executions) from MetaTrader5. Tick data fetching has no side effects on the market or trading account. Severity is medium rather than low because tick data access could enable market surveillance or inform trading decisions, though the tool itself is non-destructive and read-only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'data_fetch_ticks' with 'fetch' verb indicates data retrieval. Server context shows MetaTrader5 provides 'tick data' access. Sibling tools like 'data_fetch_candles' confirm fetch operations are read-only data retrieval.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs data_fetch_ticks safely

data_fetch_ticks Allowed

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