AI agents call get_version to retrieve information from Trading Skills without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation that queries and returns version information. It cannot modify, delete, or execute any operations. The severity is low because even if an AI agent calls it, the only effect is retrieving a version string, which poses no risk to data, systems, or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_version' and description 'Return the current version of the trading-skills package' indicate a simple query operation that retrieves version metadata with no side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Trading Skills, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_version:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_version": {}
}
}get_version is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
