AI agents call get_order_trades to retrieve information from Zerodha without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Despite empty description, the tool name structure and sibling context strongly suggest this retrieves trade information associated with orders (execution history, details, or status). No side effects, modifications, deletions, or financial movements are indicated. Confidence reduced slightly due to missing description, but naming convention and server architecture point clearly to read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_order_trades' uses 'get' verb indicating retrieval operation. Description is empty, but sibling context (get_holdings, get_margins, get_positions, get_order_history, get_orders) all follow read-only query patterns.

{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_order_trades": {}
}
}get_order_trades is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
