AI agents call pnl to retrieve information from Trading MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
P&L generation is a read operation that queries and aggregates existing financial data to produce a report. It has no side effects—it does not execute trades, delete records, transfer funds, or modify any portfolio state.
