## Why getCryptoQuotes is rated Low

This tool queries and returns financial market data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents no capability for financial transactions, code execution, or data manipulation. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve publicly available market information, which poses negligible security risk.

From the tool's own definition: "getCryptoQuotes retrieves real-time cryptocurrency quotes, live prices, trading volumes, and price changes - all query operations with no modification or execution capability."

## Use case

AI agents call getCryptoQuotes to retrieve information from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) Server  without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
