Get vote count for an outcome in a dispute round.
AI agents call get_vote_count to retrieve information from Basis MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries dispute voting information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any external operations. It is a simple data retrieval function with no side effects, placing it squarely in the Read category. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve voting data, not affect outcomes or financial states.
From the tool's definition get_vote_count retrieves vote count data for an outcome; the verb 'Get' and action of querying/retrieving information without modification indicates a read-only operation.
