## Why getAnalystEstimates is rated Low

This tool purely retrieves and queries financial analyst estimates from the FMP API. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. It is a passive data retrieval mechanism to inform investment decisions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal as it only exposes read access to publicly available analyst forecast data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getAnalystEstimates' and description 'Retrieve analyst financial estimates' clearly indicate data retrieval."

## Use case

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