## Why alex_get_trading_pairs is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves trading pair data from the ALEX AMM protocol. It performs a passive read operation that returns information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any transactions or code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve redundant data or flood queries, not cause financial loss, execute transactions, or damage data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get', description states 'Get all active trading pairs' — a retrieval operation with no side effects or state modification."

## Use case

AI agents call alex_get_trading_pairs 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": {
    "alex_get_trading_pairs": {}
  }
}
