AI agents call GetEarningsEstimate 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.
GetEarningsEstimate retrieves analyst earnings estimates, which is a read-only query operation. It accesses financial data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. Although the data is financial in nature, the tool itself only reads/retrieves information and does not move money, create obligations, or perform any destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'GetEarningsEstimate' and description states 'returns analysts' earnings estimates' - a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects. Part of a financial market data API focused on fetching historical and real-time data.

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