Get comprehensive portfolio information including positions and performance
AI agents call get_portfolio to retrieve information from Open Paper Trading MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves portfolio data (positions, performance metrics) without creating, modifying, or deleting any financial positions or orders. It is a passive read operation that provides visibility into account state. While the portfolio may contain sensitive financial information, the tool itself performs no actionable operations that could alter holdings, execute trades, or incur financial risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_portfolio' and description 'Get comprehensive portfolio information including positions and performance' indicate data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution of trades.
