Get pending transactions for an address (if available)
AI agents call telos_pending_transactions to retrieve information from Telos Network MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves pending transaction data for a blockchain address. While it performs read-only data retrieval (lowering it from higher categories), the context of a DeFi/financial system and the sensitivity of transaction data—which could reveal portfolio composition, trading patterns, or financial activity—elevates this from 'low' to 'medium' severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'telos_pending_transactions' and description states it 'Get[s] pending transactions for an address'. This is a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.
