What lookup_symbol does on Kmp Api Lookup

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

Why lookup_symbol needs a policy

Even though lookup_symbol only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
