## Why get_potential_payout is rated Low

This tool only computes and returns a payout calculation based on input parameters. It does not execute trades, create orders, modify balances, or have side effects. The 'BET PREVIEW' mode explicitly indicates it shows hypothetical outcomes without committing any action. This is a pure Read operation - retrieving or calculating derived data with no state changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description: 'Calculate prediction market resolution payout' - performs a calculation based on provided inputs without modifying state, creating orders, or executing transactions."

## Use case

AI agents call get_potential_payout 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Basis MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
