What generate does on MCP Binance

AI agents call generate as a supporting operation in MCP Binance workflows.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why generate needs a policy

The description 'Generate various types of content' provides no specifics about what is generated or what side effects occur. In the context of a Binance market data server whose sibling tools focus on fetching, analyzing, and calculating market data, 'generate' likely produces derived content or reports (e.g., summaries, charts, analysis output) rather than executing trades or modifying data.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'generate' with description 'Generate various types of content' — both are vague and uninformative
