What scan_breakouts does on Asterdex

AI agents call scan_breakouts to retrieve information from Asterdex without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why scan_breakouts needs a policy

scan_breakouts queries market data and performs technical analysis (VPVR, multi-timeframe confirmation) to identify trading opportunities, then returns results. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. This is pure data retrieval and analysis with no side effects, fitting the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'scans,' 'returns ranked list,' 'analyzes,' and provides 'insights' — all read operations that retrieve and analyze market data without modifying state, executing orders, or triggering external side effects.
