AI agents call trending to retrieve information from Cryptosense without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries live market data from CoinGecko and returns trending information to the user. It is a pure read operation—no state is modified, no external actions triggered, and no irreversible changes occur. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; providing stale or incorrect trending data would only mislead the user's trading decisions but would not autonomously move funds or damage systems.
