Why cancel_all_orders needs a policy

This tool cancels all open orders, which is an irreversible action that directly impacts financial state (orders represent committed or pending payments). Unlike a reversible Write operation (e.g., modifying an order), cancellation cannot be undone without manual intervention.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cancel_all_orders' combined with description 'Cancel all open orders for the authenticated user' indicates irreversible cancellation of multiple financial transactions.

POLICY

How to control cancel_all_orders

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cancel_all_orders:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "cancel_all_orders"
  ]
}

cancel_all_orders disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Mcp Ap2 — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
