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

Why get_orders needs a policy

The get_orders tool retrieves and displays information about pending orders. This is a read-only operation with no side effects on account state, positions, or financial obligations. It falls clearly into the Read category. Severity is low because querying order data poses minimal risk even if an AI agent misuses it—it cannot directly harm the account, execute unauthorized trades, or move funds.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List pending limit/stop orders' - a retrieval operation that queries existing order data without modification, creation, or execution of trades.
