analyze_risk 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 analyze_risk to retrieve information from Oraclaw 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 analyze_risk 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 analyze_risk only ever does what you allow.

What does the analyze_risk tool do? +

[Premium] Compute portfolio Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Conditional VaR (Expected Shortfall) from historical asset return series, accounting for cross-asset correlation. Use for portfolio risk attribution, regulatory capital sizing, drawdown scenario analysis. Returns are matrix [asset][time] of period returns. For simulating outcomes from a parametric distribution rather than historical data, use simulate_montecarlo. Requires ORACLAW_API_KEY.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Oraclaw MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on analyze_risk? +

Register the Oraclaw MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_risk: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Oraclaw. Nothing to install.

What risk level is analyze_risk? +

analyze_risk is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit analyze_risk? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the analyze_risk 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 analyze_risk completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for analyze_risk. 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 analyze_risk? +

analyze_risk is provided by the Oraclaw MCP server (@oraclaw/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Oraclaw tool call.
