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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search",
    "arguments": {

    }
  }
}
```

## Why search is rated Low

The search function queries available securities and instruments without modifying, executing, or committing any financial transactions. It is purely informational and has no ability to alter state or commit funds. While it exists in a financial trading context, the tool itself only reads/retrieves data. Confidence is high because the description clearly indicates a search/lookup operation.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'search' and description states 'Search for securities and instruments' — a retrieval operation with no side effects."

Risk signals: Instrument search
