While the data itself (insider trading activity) is sensitive and could inform market manipulation if misused by an agent, the tool itself only reads/searches existing data without side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial transactions are initiated. From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Search for insider trading activity' and 'Track trading activities' — these are query/retrieval operations that retrieve historical insider trade data without modifying, deleting, or executing external transactions." ## Use case AI agents call searchInsiderTradesByReportingName 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**.
