## Why ccxt_fetch_order_book is rated Low

This tool retrieves market data (the order book for a given symbol) from a cryptocurrency exchange. It is a read-only query operation with no side effects, no data modification, no code execution beyond the data fetch itself, and no financial transactions. The parameters (symbol, limit, params) control what data is retrieved but do not alter exchange state or commit financial actions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'ccxt_fetch_order_book' and description 'Call exchange.fetchOrderBook(symbol, limit, params)' — fetches and retrieves order book data from an exchange without modifying state."
