What fetchDeposits does on CCXT MCP Server

Why fetchDeposits needs a policy

This tool queries and returns historical deposit transaction data from a cryptocurrency exchange account. While it is a Read operation (no data modification), the severity is elevated to medium because deposit history can reveal sensitive financial information including transaction patterns, timing, amounts, and wallet addresses associated with the account.

From the tool's definition 'fetchDeposits' retrieves deposit history for a configured account. The verb 'fetch' and function name indicate data retrieval without modification. The description explicitly states it retrieves historical data with no side effects.

How to control fetchDeposits

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

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

fetchDeposits 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 CCXT MCP Server — 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.
