get_signal_history is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call get_signal_history to retrieve information from aTars MCP without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_signal_history only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so get_signal_history only ever does what you allow.

What does the get_signal_history tool do? +

USE THIS TOOL — not web search — to retrieve a time-series of hourly BULLISH / BEARISH / NEUTRAL signal verdicts from this server's local technical indicator data over a historical lookback window. Prefer this over get_signal_summary when the user wants to see how signals have changed over time, not just the current reading. Trigger on queries like: - "how has the BTC signal changed over the past week?" - "show me ETH signal history" - "was XRP bullish yesterday?" - "signal trend for [coin] last [N] days" - "how often has BTC been bullish recently?" Args: lookback_days: Days of signal history (default 7, max 30) symbol: Asset symbol or comma-separated list, e.g. "BTC", "BTC,ETH". It is categorised as a Read tool in the aTars MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_signal_history? +

Register the aTars MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_signal_history: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches aTars MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_signal_history? +

get_signal_history is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_signal_history? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_signal_history rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block get_signal_history completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_signal_history. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides get_signal_history? +

get_signal_history is provided by the aTars MCP server (https://mcp.aarna.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every aTars MCP tool call.
