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

AI agents call simulate_order to retrieve information from Buda 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 simulate_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 simulate_order tool do? +

[DEPRECATED: prefer get_real_quotation for server-side accurate quotes] Simulates a buy or sell order on Buda.com using live ticker data — no order is placed. Returns estimated fill price, fee, total cost, and slippage vs mid-price. Omit 'price' for a market order simulation; supply 'price' for a limit order simulation. All outputs are labelled simulation: true — this tool never places a real order. Example: 'How much would it cost to buy 0.01 BTC on BTC-CLP right now?'. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Buda MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on simulate_order? +

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

What risk level is simulate_order? +

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

Can I rate-limit simulate_order? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the simulate_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 simulate_order completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for simulate_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 simulate_order? +

simulate_order is provided by the Buda MCP server (@guiie/buda-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
