Why screener needs a policy

The screener tool filters and retrieves stock data based on user-defined criteria, which is a read-only operation. It returns analysis results without modifying any data, executing code, or moving money.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'screener' and description 'Screen stocks based on filters with validation and confidence scores' indicate data retrieval and querying functionality. No creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial transactions are performed.

How to control screener

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

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

screener 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 Yfnhanced — 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.
