WHAT IT DOES

What ccxt_set_position_mode does on Codex CCXT MCP

AI agents invoke ccxt_set_position_mode 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.

RISK

Why ccxt_set_position_mode is rated High

This tool changes the position mode (hedge vs one-way) on a derivatives exchange. It triggers an external operation on the exchange that affects how all positions and orders behave for the account. While not directly moving money, misconfiguring position mode can cause significant disruption to open positions and orders (e.g., forced liquidations or order rejections).
