What ccxt_cancel_orders does on Codex CCXT MCP
AI agents invoke ccxt_cancel_orders to trigger actions in Codex CCXT MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why ccxt_cancel_orders is rated High
This tool cancels multiple live orders on an exchange. While cancellation is reversible in the sense that new orders can be placed, it terminates active market positions/orders and triggers real exchange operations. It is gated by a trading gate (suggesting real financial impact), making it an Execute-level action with high severity since misuse could disrupt multiple active trading orders simultaneously.
