What pm_update_order does on Waiaas

Medium Risk

Why pm_update_order needs a policy

This is a Write operation because it modifies reversible data (market order parameters). It is not Destructive because the original order is cancelled and replaced rather than permanently purged without recovery option.

From the tool's definition Tool updates an active Polymarket order by modifying price or size (cancel + replace operation), which creates a new order state and modifies existing financial positions reversibly.

How to control pm_update_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 pm_update_order:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pm_update_order": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "pm_update_order_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

pm_update_order stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  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.
