## Why get_mempool_transactions is rated Low

This tool queries the mempool state to retrieve transaction information. It performs no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute operations, and does not create financial obligations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, making it a Read category tool with low severity—misuse would only surface existing data that may already be publicly visible on-chain.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_mempool_transactions' and description 'Get transactions currently in the mempool' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves data without modification or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call get_mempool_transactions 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)

```json
