What depth does on Aster Finance MCP Server

AI agents call depth to retrieve information from Aster Finance MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why depth needs a policy

The depth tool queries and retrieves the order book (market data) for a cryptocurrency trading pair. This is a standard read operation that has no impact on accounts, balances, positions, or orders. While it is exposed on a financial trading platform (Aster Finance), the tool itself performs only information retrieval with zero financial or operational impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'depth' and description 'Get the order book for a symbol' — retrieves market data with no side effects. Order book queries are non-destructive read operations.
