View market data at a specific waypoint.
AI agents call View_Market to retrieve information from SpaceTraders MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays market information, which is a read-only operation. It has no side effects on the SpaceTraders game state, fleet status, or contracts. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could view market data repeatedly but cannot cause damage, financial loss, or irreversible changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'View_Market' and description 'View market data at a specific waypoint' indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification, creation, or deletion of game state.
