WHAT IT DOES

What ccxt_fetch_positions does on Codex CCXT MCP

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

RISK

Why ccxt_fetch_positions is rated Low

The 'fetch' verb and the read-only nature of fetchPositions (a standard CCXT method for querying open positions) confirm this is a Read operation. It has no side effects on account state, balances, or orders. Severity is low because misuse only exposes information rather than causing financial loss or enabling destructive actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ccxt_fetch_positions' and description 'Call exchange.fetchPositions(symbols, params)' indicate a fetch operation that retrieves position data from an exchange without modifying state.
