## Why swap_get_quote is rated Low

This tool retrieves pricing and quote data for informational purposes only. It has no side effects, does not move funds, does not execute transactions, and does not modify wallet state. The word 'get' combined with 'quote' clearly indicates a read-only query operation. While the server provides financial operations overall, this specific tool is purely informational and falls under Read category.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'swap_get_quote' and description 'Get a swap quote with estimated output, exchange rate, and fees' indicate a retrieval operation that queries swap pricing information without executing any transaction or modifying state."

## Use case

AI agents call swap_get_quote to retrieve information from Bitcoin wallet MCP server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
