## Why forecast_list_methods is rated Low

The tool appears to be a Read operation that simply enumerates or describes forecast methodology options available on the MetaTrader5 server. While the description is empty (reducing confidence), the naming pattern aligns with the sibling tool 'denoise_list_methods' which is clearly a non-destructive query. No evidence suggests data modification, execution of arbitrary code, deletion, or financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'forecast_list_methods' indicates a listing/query operation that retrieves available forecast methods without modifying data or executing trades."

## Use case

AI agents call forecast_list_methods 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches MetaTrader5 MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "forecast_list_methods": {}
  }
}
```
