RISK

Why cmc_quotes is rated Low

This tool retrieves public cryptocurrency price/quote data from CoinMarketCap's API. It is a read-only query with no side effects, no code execution capability, and no financial transactions. While the data concerns cryptocurrency (which has financial implications for users), the tool itself only reads and presents information without executing trades, transfers, or financial commitments.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get cryptocurrency quotes from CoinMarketCap' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code. The verb 'Get' indicates data querying only.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs cmc_quotes safely

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

cmc_quotes Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "cmc_quotes": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every cmc_quotes call is checked against it from then on.
