Why cmc_quotes is rated Low

It performs a read-only query operation with no ability to modify data, execute commands, delete information, or move funds. The worst-case misuse would be information disclosure or resource exhaustion, both low-severity risks. Confidence is high because the description unambiguously describes a data retrieval action.

cmc_quotes is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
