Get active orders.
AI agents call orders_get to retrieve information from MetaTrader 5 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that retrieves order data. However, severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because order information could reveal sensitive trading positions, strategies, and account details that could be exploited if accessed by a compromised agent. The tool does not modify, execute, delete, or commit financial transactions—it only queries existing data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'orders_get' and description 'Get active orders' indicate a data retrieval operation with no side effects. The tool queries existing order information from the MetaTrader 5 account.
