What ccxt_edit_orders does on Codex CCXT MCP
AI agents use ccxt_edit_orders to create or update resources in Codex CCXT MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Codex CCXT MCP environment.
Why ccxt_edit_orders is rated Medium
This tool modifies financial orders reversibly—editing changes order parameters but does not delete or execute immediate trades. While it affects financial instruments and has high blast radius if misused by an agent (could alter stop-losses, quantities, or prices), it remains in the Write category because edits are reversible and do not immediately move funds.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'editOrders(orders, params)', which modifies existing orders. The name 'ccxt_edit_orders' directly indicates order modification. Subject to 'trading gate' suggests guardrails are in place.
