place_order

Place an order using BlinkX SmartAPI (regular order). Always Confirm from user before placing order Example: place_order(tradingsymbol="RELIANCE-EQ", quantity=5, price=2800)

Handles credentials or secrets (token); Accepts URL/endpoint input (api_url); High parameter count (11 properties)

Part of the Blinkxmcp MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

ai/blinkxmcp Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call place_order to retrieve information from Blinkxmcp 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 place_order 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.

What does the place_order tool do? +

Place an order using BlinkX SmartAPI (regular order). Always Confirm from user before placing order Example: place_order(tradingsymbol="RELIANCE-EQ", quantity=5, price=2800). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Blinkxmcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on place_order? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for place_order. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Blinkxmcp MCP server.

What risk level is place_order? +

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

Can I rate-limit place_order? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the place_order rule in your Intercept 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 place_order completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for place_order. 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 place_order? +

place_order is provided by the Blinkxmcp MCP server (ai/blinkxmcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
