AI agents call get_portfolio_equities to retrieve information from Paper MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves and queries existing portfolio equity data. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. The server context indicates financial domain (trading platform), but this specific tool is a read-only query.
