## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "option_historicals",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why option_historicals is rated Low

The tool appears to fetch or query historical option pricing/performance data without modifying state. While the context is financial data, the operation itself is Read-only retrieval, not a Financial transaction. Low severity because historical data queries pose minimal risk if misused by an agent—they cannot move money or execute trades. Confidence is moderate due to the empty description.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'option_historicals' suggests retrieval of historical option data. The empty description limits certainty, but naming convention (historical + plural) and the context of a financial data server with no mutating verbs in the name indicate a query…"

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Open Stocks MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "option_historicals": {}
  }
}
```
