## Why schwab_get_dividends_by_symbol is rated Low

This tool retrieves historical or current dividend information for a given stock symbol. Dividend queries are read-only operations that do not modify account state, execute trades, or cause financial transactions. Even if an AI agent misuses this tool by querying many symbols, the blast radius is limited to data exposure.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'schwab_get_dividends_by_symbol' indicates a query/retrieval operation. No description provided, but the naming pattern matches sibling tools like 'add_to_watchlist' and 'account_details' which are clearly read operations."

## Use case

AI agents call schwab_get_dividends_by_symbol 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.
