WHAT IT DOES

What health does on MCP Trader Server

AI agents call health to retrieve information from MCP Trader Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and MCP Trader Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For health, this is the rule to start with:

health Allowed

health is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
