WHAT IT DOES

What paper_clone does on :GT Protocol MCP Server

AI agents use paper_clone 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.

RISK

Why paper_clone is rated Medium

This is a Write operation because it creates or instantiates new data (a demo bot configuration) reversibly. While the tool operates in a trading context, it specifically uses paper/demo trading which eliminates direct financial risk on real accounts. However, it could be misused to instantiate many bots or consume resources if abused.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a new paper trading bot based on an existing live bot configuration. The description explicitly states 'Create a paper trading (demo) copy', indicating bot creation/instantiation that modifies the user's trading infrastructure.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs paper_clone 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 paper_clone, this is the rule to start with:

paper_clone Rate-limited

paper_clone 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.
