What ccxt_proxy_ip does on Codex CCXT MCP
AI agents call ccxt_proxy_ip to retrieve information from Codex CCXT MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why ccxt_proxy_ip is rated Low
This tool retrieves data (IP check information) from a configured URL through CCXT's exchange fetch mechanism, making it a Read operation. However, the severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because fetching IP configuration details could expose infrastructure information that might inform reconnaissance or reveal network topology.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Fetch the configured IP check URL through the CCXT exchange fetch path' — 'Fetch' is a read operation that retrieves data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs ccxt_proxy_ip safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Codex CCXT MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ccxt_proxy_ip, this is the rule to start with:
ccxt_proxy_ip is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Codex CCXT MCP, apply this rule, and every ccxt_proxy_ip call is checked against it from then on.
