WHAT IT DOES

What getGasPrice does on Agentek Eth

Retrieving gas price information has no side effects and poses minimal risk—it is informational data that helps users understand transaction costs but does not execute transactions, move funds, or modify any state. Severity is low because misuse cannot cause harm beyond information leakage.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the current gas price' with no mention of state modification, transaction execution, or financial transfers. It retrieves current network data (gas prices) for informational purposes only.
