AI agents call get_forex_prices to retrieve information from Tiingo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

The 'get_' prefix and context within a financial data API strongly suggest read-only access. Even if misused by an AI agent, it can only expose publicly available financial data, posing minimal security risk.
