Read-only server. Low risk, but rate limits prevent runaway API costs.

Even read-only tools carry cost. An agent in a retry loop can make thousands of API calls per minute, exhausting rate limits and running up bills.

- rate_limit: 60/minute Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
The Sg Finance Data server is primarily read-only with 4 read tools. While it cannot modify data, an agent in a retry loop can make thousands of API calls per minute, exhausting rate limits and running up costs. Rate limiting is still recommended.
4 tools across 1 categories: Read. 4 are read-only. 0 can modify, create, or delete data.
One line change. Instead of running the Sg Finance Data server directly, prefix it with Intercept: intercept -c vdineshk-sg-finance-data-mcp.yaml -- npx -y @vdineshk/sg-finance-data-mcp. Download a pre-built policy from policylayer.com/policies/vdineshk-sg-finance-data-mcp and adjust the limits to match your use case.
