What get_margin does on Derive MCP

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

Why get_margin needs a policy

This tool retrieves existing margin account data (maintenance margin, initial margin, margin ratio) for informational purposes. It performs no state changes, does not execute trades or orders, does not transfer funds, and does not delete data. While the broader server context involves financial trading, this specific tool only queries account margin metrics.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get detailed margin information' - a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the lack of any modification, execution, or financial transaction language confirms this is a read-only query.
