Get the exchange rate between two currencies/tokens. Example: from=
AI agents call get_exchange_rate to retrieve information from Payoza MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a data retrieval operation (get) that queries exchange rate information. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, or delete data, does not execute code or commands, and does not move money. It is a read-only informational query, making it the lowest-risk category.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_exchange_rate' and description indicates it retrieves exchange rate data between currencies/tokens with no modification or execution capability.
