```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "getQuote",

## Why getQuote is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries publicly available market data (stock prices, volume, changes) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple read operation with minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent, as the worst outcome would be accessing market data the agent should not see, not causing financial harm or data destruction.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getQuote' and description 'Access real-time stock quotes' and 'Get up-to-the-minute prices, changes, and volume data' indicate data retrieval with no side effects or modifications."

## Use case

AI agents call getQuote 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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