It is a read-only query with no side effects, no code execution, and no ability to modify state or commit financial transactions. While it accesses financial market data, it does not move money or create obligations.

How to control get_candles

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

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

get_candles 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 Liquidiction — 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.
