Why fin_deepagent_backtests needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves pre-computed backtest results. It performs a read-only operation with no side effects, state changes, or external actions. While the server context involves financial strategy backtesting, this specific tool merely lists summary data.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'backtests' and description states it 'List[s] DeepAgent-generated backtest summaries' — a retrieval operation that returns historical performance metrics (returns, sharpe, drawdown).

POLICY

How to control fin_deepagent_backtests

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fin_deepagent_backtests": {}
  }
}

fin_deepagent_backtests is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register OpenFinClaw CLI — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
