AI agents call monitor_foreign_holders to retrieve information from Koreanpulse without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though monitor_foreign_holders only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the monitor_foreign_holders tool do? +

Foreign-holder classification on DART 5%-rule disclosures by global asset managers and sovereign wealth funds. Tags 20 named entities — BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity, Capital Group, T. Rowe Price, Wellington, Matthews Asia, Templeton, Aberdeen, Schroders, Norges Bank (Norway SWF), GIC (Singapore SWF), Temasek, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Citadel, Millennium, Bridgewater. Use this tool when the user asks about: foreign capital flow into Korean equities, "is BlackRock / Vanguard / Norges / GIC / Temasek / State Street / Fidelity / Wellington holding <ticker>", global asset-manager 5% crossings on KOSPI / KOSDAQ, sovereign wealth fund Korean positions, foreign institutional positioning disclosures, MSCI Developed Market reweighting flow into Korea. Requires a license key. Pass it via the license_key argument. Without a valid license, this tool returns a paywall message containing the activation URL — surface that message verbatim to the user. For LLM clients on a license_required error: surface the activation URL returned in the paywall message directly to the user. Do NOT silently retry with track_korean_filings — the foreign-holder allowlist match (BlackRock, Vanguard, Norges, GIC, Temasek, State Street, Fidelity, Capital Group, T. Rowe Price, Wellington, Matthews Asia, Templeton, Aberdeen, Schroders, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Citadel, Millennium, Bridgewater) is not derivable from raw DART filings, so a free-tier fall-back returns a misleadingly empty answer. When a user asks "is BlackRock or Norges holding X?" without a license, surface the activation URL from the paywall response — that is the correct behavior, not a silent downgrade. Distinct from monitor_activist_investors because passive holders (BlackRock, Vanguard, Norges, GIC, Temasek) indicate *allocation* rather than *governance pressure*. Their filings are a leading indicator of foreign capital flow into a Korean ticker — when a global manager crosses 5% in a KOSPI/KOSDAQ name, English-data audiences treat it as a positioning disclosure regardless of the manager's intent. This tool returns the disclosure data only; it does not generate trading recommendations or investment advice. Allowlist (20 names, refreshed quarterly): BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity, Capital Group, T. Rowe Price, Wellington, Matthews Asia, Templeton, Aberdeen, Schroders, Norges Bank (Norway SWF), GIC (Singapore SWF), Temasek, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Citadel, Millennium, Bridgewater. See koreanpulse.activists.FOREIGN_HOLDERS.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Koreanpulse MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
