What enable_toolset does on Financial Modeling Prep MCP Server
AI agents use enable_toolset to create or update resources in Financial Modeling Prep MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Financial Modeling Prep MCP Server environment.
Why enable_toolset is rated Medium
This tool modifies system state (enabling/disabling toolsets) rather than merely querying or destructively removing data. It is a reversible Write operation (can be undone by disabling), but carries medium severity because enabling toolsets could expand the attack surface by making additional financial tools available that were previously restricted.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'enable_toolset' with description 'Enable a toolset by name to make its tools available' indicates a configuration/state modification action that changes which tools are accessible.

The rule that runs enable_toolset safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Financial Modeling Prep MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For enable_toolset, this is the rule to start with:
enable_toolset 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Financial Modeling Prep MCP Server, apply this rule, and every enable_toolset call is checked against it from then on.
