## Why getStockPeers is rated Low

This tool retrieves and presents existing financial data about peer companies for analysis purposes. It has no side effects, does not execute code or commands, does not create or modify data, and does not involve financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve or display misleading peer comparisons, which does not affect actual financial systems or data integrity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs data retrieval operations: 'Identify and compare companies', 'Gain insights' with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. The FMP Stock Peer Comparison API is a lookup/query service that returns comparative financial data."
