MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Zerodha MCP Server tools

Financial · Critical modify_order Modifying a financial order on a trading platform directly affects financial transactions and market positions. Financial · Critical place_order Placing an order on a trading platform directly commits financial obligations by purchasing or selling securities. Destructive · High cancel_order Cancelling an order is irreversible: once cancelled, the order no longer exists and cannot be reinstated.

3 of Zerodha MCP Server's 12 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Zerodha MCP Server

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

Block financial tools by default

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

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "cancel_order": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Cap read operations

{
  "get_access_token": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_access_token_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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