Why get_profit_data needs a policy

This tool retrieves profit/earnings data for stock analysis. As a 'get_' prefixed function on a financial data server, it performs query/retrieval of existing financial metrics with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is low—an AI agent querying profit data cannot cause financial harm or system damage.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_profit_data' follows the 'get_*' pattern consistent with sibling tools (get_balance_data, get_cash_flow_data, get_dividend_data, get_dupont_data, get_growth_data, get_historical_k_data) which are all data retrieval operations.

How to control get_profit_data

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Stockreport, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_profit_data:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_profit_data": {}
  }
}

get_profit_data is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Stockreport — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
