Retrieve the current order book (top bids/asks) for a symbol.
AI agents call get_order_book to retrieve information from Binance MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns market data (order book snapshots) without modifying, executing, deleting, or creating any resources. The action is read-only retrieval of public exchange data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could only observe market conditions, not manipulate them. Low severity reflects that public market data exposure poses no direct security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_order_book' and description states 'Retrieve the current order book (top bids/asks) for a symbol' — purely a data retrieval operation with no side effects.

{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_order_book": {}
}
}get_order_book is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
