What ccxt_cancel_all_orders does on Codex CCXT MCP
AI agents call ccxt_cancel_all_orders to permanently remove resources in Codex CCXT MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why ccxt_cancel_all_orders is rated Critical
Cancelling all orders is an irreversible bulk action: once orders are cancelled they cannot be restored. This has a high blast radius because an AI agent misusing this tool could cancel every open order across positions, potentially exposing the user to significant market risk. It is more severe than a single-order cancel and falls under Destructive due to its irreversible, bulk nature.
From the tool's definition cancelAllOrders — cancels all open orders on the exchange, subject to trading gate
