WHAT IT DOES

What start_bot does on :GT Protocol MCP Server

AI agents invoke start_bot to trigger actions in :GT Protocol MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why start_bot is rated High

This tool triggers external automated trading operations whose effects (financial transactions, position openings) depend on bot configuration and market conditions. While it does not directly move money (Financial category), it commits the system to execute trades automatically, making it an Execute action with critical severity due to the financial blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool 'start_bot' activates a trading bot that 'will start looking for entry signals and opening deals' on financial exchanges (Binance and Hyperliquid). The description explicitly states the bot will execute deal opening autonomously.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

start_bot Rate-limited

start_bot stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
