Fetch the account balance.
AI agents call fetch_balance to retrieve information from Freqtrade-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves financial account balance information without creating, modifying, deleting, or moving money. It is a read-only query operation. While the data retrieved is financial in nature, the tool itself performs no financial transaction or commitment.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'fetch_balance' and description states 'Fetch the account balance' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
