## Why ccxt_load_markets is rated Low

loadMarkets is a query operation that fetches and caches market metadata from a cryptocurrency exchange. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute trades. Even with a reload parameter, it only refreshes cached data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent might refresh market data unnecessarily, but cannot cause financial loss or damage.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool calls exchange.loadMarkets(reload, params), which retrieves market data from an exchange. The method name 'loadMarkets' and context of loading market information (prices, symbols, trading pairs) indicates data retrieval with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call ccxt_load_markets 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Codex CCXT MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ccxt_load_markets": {}
  }
}
```
