## Why getStockGradeNews is rated Low

This is a straightforward Read operation appropriate for financial research and analysis.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool provides 'real-time updates on stock rating changes' and 'direct links to trusted news sources' — purely informational retrieval with no data modification, deletion, or execution capabilities."
