analyze_risk
AI agents call analyze_risk to retrieve information from IB Analytics MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to be part of a suite of analytical/reporting functions that read portfolio data and compute risk metrics. The 'analyze_*' prefix across all sibling tools, combined with the server's stated purpose of 'multi-dimensional analytics' and 'rich reporting capabilities,' indicates this performs risk assessment computations on existing data without modifying or executing transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'analyze_risk' and server context describing 'risk analysis' among read-only analytical capabilities (analyze_bonds, analyze_costs, analyze_performance, etc.).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
analyze_risk. It is categorised as a Read tool in the IB Analytics MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the IB Analytics MCP Server 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 IB Analytics MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_risk 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 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.
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.
analyze_risk is provided by the IB Analytics MCP Server MCP server (knishioka/ib-sec-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
