## Why get_fx_rates_ecb is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries publicly available financial reference data (ECB exchange rates). It has no capability to modify data, execute transactions, or commit financial obligations. The explicit disclaimer that it is not a transaction quote or trading advice further confirms it is purely informational.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool returns 'daily European Central Bank reference exchange rates and cross-rates' with explicit statement that result 'is informational only: it is not a transaction quote, execution venue, or trading advice.' The verb 'return' and 'get' indicate data…"
