What create_bot does on :GT Protocol MCP Server
AI agents use create_bot to create or update resources in :GT Protocol MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your :GT Protocol MCP Server environment.
Why create_bot is rated Medium
This tool creates new trading bot configurations, which is a write operation (reversible creation of data/resources). However, because bots can execute trades on real financial accounts once activated, and misconfiguration could lead to unintended trading activity or financial losses, the severity is elevated to 'high' rather than 'medium'.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_bot' and description 'Create a new trading bot/strategy' indicate creation of a new trading configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_bot safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and :GT Protocol MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_bot, this is the rule to start with:
create_bot stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect :GT Protocol MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_bot call is checked against it from then on.
