AI agents invoke performance_attribution to trigger processes or run actions in QuantRisk. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

performance_attribution can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

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

What does the performance_attribution tool do? +

Break down portfolio performance into factor exposures, sector allocation, and position contributions. Computes Sharpe, Sortino, Treynor, Calmar, and Information ratios.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the QuantRisk MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on performance_attribution? +

Register the QuantRisk MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for performance_attribution: 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 QuantRisk. Nothing to install.

What risk level is performance_attribution? +

performance_attribution is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit performance_attribution? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the performance_attribution 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 performance_attribution completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for performance_attribution. 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 performance_attribution? +

performance_attribution is provided by the QuantRisk MCP server (@quantrisk/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every QuantRisk tool call.
