Get open positions.
AI agents call positions_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 tool retrieves existing position information from the MetaTrader 5 account without side effects. It is a read-only operation that gathers market and account state data, similar to get_account_info and get_symbol_info on the same server. Misuse would at worst expose trading position details to an AI agent, but causes no irreversible damage or financial harm.
