AI agents call cex_spot_get_spot_trades to retrieve information from Gate without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though cex_spot_get_spot_trades only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get recent trades for a currency pair. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gate MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Gate MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cex_spot_get_spot_trades: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Gate. Nothing to install.
cex_spot_get_spot_trades is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cex_spot_get_spot_trades rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for cex_spot_get_spot_trades. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
cex_spot_get_spot_trades is provided by the Gate MCP server (gate/gate-local-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
