WHAT IT DOES

RISK

Why set_broker_rate_limit is rated Medium

This tool modifies broker-level rate limit settings, which is a reversible configuration write operation. While it affects trading infrastructure, it does not execute trades, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The impact is medium severity because misconfiguration could disrupt trading operations or lock out legitimate activity, but the change can be undone by reconfiguring limits again.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_broker_rate_limit' indicates modification of broker configuration settings. Description states 'Set broker rate limits' — a configuration change operation.
