get_holdings
AI agents call get_holdings to retrieve information from Zerodha MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves portfolio holdings data—a read-only operation that queries account state without side effects. While the severity is elevated to 'medium' due to the financial context (holdings data could inform trading decisions), the tool itself performs no writes, executions, or destructive actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_holdings' indicates data retrieval with no modification. Server context describes it as part of 'portfolio holdings' functionality, which is fundamentally a query operation. However, description is empty, lowering confidence slightly.
