Get current positions with P&L
AI agents call getPositions to retrieve information from TradeStation MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves financial position and performance data without modifying account state, executing trades, or committing financial transactions. While it operates in a financial domain, it performs a passive query operation consistent with Read category. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose existing data rather than cause financial loss or unintended transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getPositions' and description 'Get current positions with P&L' indicate a data retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of querying current positions with profit/loss metrics show no modification or execution of trades.
