etoro_get_rates

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call etoro_get_rates to retrieve information from Etoro 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON ETORO_GET_RATES

Even though etoro_get_rates 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.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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

  etoro_get_rates:

How do I enforce a policy on etoro_get_rates? +

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

What risk level is etoro_get_rates? +

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

Can I rate-limit etoro_get_rates? +

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

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