Returns the amount of dividends paid out for the last 10+ years.
AI agents call GetDividends to retrieve information from Twelve Data 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 historical dividend information from a financial data API. It performs no data modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. It simply queries and returns historical financial metrics, making it a straightforward Read operation with low severity and blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetDividends' and description 'Returns the amount of dividends paid out for the last 10+ years' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

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