Critical Risk

Why limit_order needs a policy

This tool places a financial order on a decentralized exchange (DEX), committing to a trade at a specified price. It directly involves financial transactions and trading obligations on the XRPL DEX. Misuse could result in unintended trades, financial loss, or unauthorized commitment of crypto assets.

How to control limit_order

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "limit_order": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to limit_order is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Waiaas — 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.
