## Why alex_get_token_price is rated Low

This tool retrieves pricing information from the DeFi protocol without side effects. It is a read-only operation analogous to a database query or API fetch. Even in a financial context, passively reading token prices poses minimal risk compared to tools that execute trades or move funds. Misuse would be limited to information gathering with no financial impact.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'alex_get_token_price' and description 'Get current price of a specific token' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modifying or executing actions."

## Use case

AI agents call alex_get_token_price to retrieve information from Stacks AI MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Stacks AI MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
