WHAT IT DOES

What update_bot does on :GT Protocol MCP Server

AI agents use update_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.

RISK

Why update_bot is rated Medium

update_bot modifies bot configuration rather than deleting it (reversible = Write, not Destructive). However, given the context of live trading accounts on financial exchanges, unauthorized bot setting changes could cause significant financial losses through altered trading behavior. Severity is high due to the blast radius: misconfigured bots on leveraged trading platforms can rapidly deplete account balances.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Update settings of an existing bot/strategy' which is a reversible modification operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

update_bot Rate-limited

update_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.
