## Why get_bot is rated Low

This tool queries and returns information about an existing bot/strategy without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any trades. It is a pure read operation that poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—an attacker could learn about bot configurations but cannot alter trading positions, execute deals, or access financial accounts beyond viewing.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_bot' and description 'Get details of a specific strategy/bot by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_bot to retrieve information from :GT Protocol 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 :GT Protocol MCP Server:

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