What get_loans does on Basis MCP Server
AI agents call get_loans to retrieve information from Basis MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_loans is rated Low
The primary function is read-only: listing and retrieving loan data. However, the contextual information about silent auto-liquidation and expiry monitoring elevates severity from 'low' to 'high' because misuse (e.g., an agent ignoring liquidation warnings) could lead to financial loss.
From the tool's definition 'List loans' — retrieves loan data without modifying or deleting it. However, the description mentions 'Monitor expiry — silent auto-liquidation', indicating the tool surfaces critical state information about loans at risk of liquidation.
