WHAT IT DOES

What login does on MetaTrader 5 MCP Server

AI agents invoke login to trigger actions in MetaTrader 5 MCP Server. 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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why login needs a policy

Logging into a MetaTrader 5 account initiates an authenticated session on a live trading platform, enabling subsequent financial operations. While it doesn't directly move money, it is an external operation that establishes access to a financial system with high-impact sibling tools (close_position, cancel_order, etc.).

From the tool's definition 'Log in to the MetaTrader 5 trading account' — triggers an external authentication/session operation against a live financial trading platform

Verdict

login stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
