What pm_cancel_order does on Basis MCP Server
AI agents call pm_cancel_order to permanently remove resources in Basis MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why pm_cancel_order is rated Critical
Cancelling a market order permanently removes it from the order book. While it does not delete data in the traditional sense, it irreversibly terminates a financial commitment/intent. In the context of a trading/financial protocol, this is closest to Destructive (irreversible removal of an order). It does not directly move money, but it does irrevocably alter the state of a financial instrument.
From the tool's definition 'Cancel private market order' — cancelling an order is an irreversible action that removes a standing financial order from the private market, which cannot be undone once executed.

The rule that runs pm_cancel_order safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Basis MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For pm_cancel_order, this is the rule to start with:
pm_cancel_order is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Basis MCP Server, apply this rule, and every pm_cancel_order call is checked against it from then on.
