Get profit summary for the trading bot. Parameters: ctx (Context): MCP context object for logging and client access. Returns: str: Stringified JSON response with profit summary, or None if failed.
AI agents call fetch_profit to retrieve information from Freqtrade without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries profit data from the trading bot without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and represents a simple read operation. While the data concerns financial assets, the tool itself does not move money or commit financial obligations—it only reports existing profit metrics.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'fetch_profit' and description states it 'Get[s] profit summary for the trading bot' with no parameters for modification. The word 'fetch' and 'Get' indicate a retrieval operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access fetch_profit gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Freqtrade, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for fetch_profit:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"fetch_profit": {}
}
}fetch_profit is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Freqtrade MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fetch_profit: 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 Freqtrade. Nothing to install.
fetch_profit 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 fetch_profit 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 fetch_profit. 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.
fetch_profit is provided by the Freqtrade MCP server (kukapay/freqtrade-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Freqtrade, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
