WHAT IT DOES

What realtime_data_streams does on Mcp Knowledge

AI agents call realtime_data_streams to retrieve information from Mcp Knowledge without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`mode`	string	Yes	Data stream type: fx_tick (latest FX bid/ask/mid/spread), fx_history_intraday (OHLCV candles), crypto_orderbook (order book snapshot), crypto_trades_recent (las
`async`	boolean	—	If true, returns a job_id immediately (<200ms) instead of waiting for the result. Poll the result with job_result(job_id). Use for slow tools to avoid client ti
`depth`	number	—	Orderbook depth (levels each side) for crypto_orderbook mode (default: 20)
`period`	string	—	Candle period for fx_history_intraday mode (default: 5m)
`symbol`	string	Yes	Market symbol. FX: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY. Crypto: BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, BTC-USD. Bonds: US10Y, US2Y, DE10Y, FR10Y, UK10Y, JP10Y, IT10Y

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why realtime_data_streams is rated Low

This tool retrieves real-time market data without modifying any state or executing financial transactions. While the data fuels trading decisions and the tool is deployed in fintech contexts (raising severity above 'low' due to potential for misuse in high-frequency trading or market manipulation if an agent uses stale/incorrect data), the tool itself only performs read operations.

From the tool's definition Tool returns 'FX ticks (bid/ask/spread), intraday OHLCV candles, crypto orderbook snapshots, recent trades with VWAP, and sovereign bond yields' from 'keyless public REST APIs' with no mention of order placement, execution, settlement, or any state-changing…

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs realtime_data_streams safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Knowledge, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For realtime_data_streams, this is the rule to start with:

realtime_data_streams Allowed

realtime_data_streams is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "realtime_data_streams": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Knowledge, apply this rule, and every realtime_data_streams call is checked against it from then on.

Use when an agent needs live market data as precise numeric inputs for trading logic, arbitrage detection, or portfolio valuation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Knowledge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does realtime_data_streams accept? +

realtime_data_streams accepts 5 parameters: mode, async, depth, period, symbol. Required: mode, symbol. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on realtime_data_streams? +

Register the Mcp Knowledge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for realtime_data_streams: 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 Mcp Knowledge. Nothing to install.
