WHAT IT DOES

What alpha_get_positions does on Algorand MCP

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

RISK

This tool queries and retrieves wallet position data from the Algorand blockchain without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The verb 'Fetch' indicates a read-only operation. No financial transactions, code execution, or destructive actions are performed. Low severity because exposure of position data poses minimal risk compared to tools that create orders or transfer assets.
