place_limit_order

Places a market-cap-triggered limit order over the WebSocket. The server polls market cap ~every 5 seconds and fires the swap when the target is crossed. WHEN TO USE: When you want to enter or exit at a specific market-cap level, not at current price. Examples:

Part of the Trade Router server.

place_limit_order is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call place_limit_order to retrieve information from Trade Router without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though place_limit_order only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so place_limit_order only ever does what you allow.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the place_limit_order rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block place_limit_order completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for place_limit_order. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides place_limit_order? +

place_limit_order is provided by the Trade Router MCP server (@traderouter/trade-router-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Trade Router tool call.
