AI agents call get_order to retrieve information from Schwab without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves existing order information without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. While the server overall handles financial operations (brokerage API), this specific tool is a read-only query that fetches order details. The low severity reflects that unauthorized read access to order history, while sensitive, does not directly move money or trigger transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_order' and description 'Get full details for a single order by ID' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and context of retrieving order details by ID are consistent with query/read operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get full details for a single order by ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Schwab MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Schwab MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_order: 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 Schwab. Nothing to install.
get_order is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_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.
get_order is provided by the Schwab MCP server (k1xme/schwab-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
