## Why getHistoricalStockGrades is rated Low

This tool retrieves historical analyst grade data for stocks without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a passive query operation that returns financial market data. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse would only expose or analyze existing public financial information, not modify positions, execute trades, or cause irreversible changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'getHistoricalStockGrades' and description 'track historical changes in analyst ratings' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution. The verb 'Access' and 'track' (passive observation) confirm read-only functionality."

## Use case

AI agents call getHistoricalStockGrades to retrieve information from Financial Modeling Prep MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
