MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous MCP MetaTrader 4 Server tools

Financial · Critical close_position Closing a trading position is a financial action that realizes profits or losses, modifies financial exposure, and cannot be undone once executed. Financial · Critical place_order Placing a trading order directly commits financial obligations by entering the market and potentially moving real money. Execute · High compile_ea Compilation is an Execute action because it triggers external code processing and transformation. Execute · High run_backtest This tool triggers execution of trading strategy code (Expert Advisors) against historical market data.

6 of MCP MetaTrader 4 Server's 14 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control MCP MetaTrader 4 Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP MetaTrader 4 Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Block financial tools by default

{
  "place_order": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Financial tools should be explicitly enabled per use case, not open by default.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "sync_ea_from_file": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "sync_ea_from_file_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_account_info": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_account_info_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
