Why fin_deepagent_research_poll needs a policy

This tool retrieves status information about an in-progress research execution. It performs no writes, deletions, or financial operations. The blocking behavior is a timing mechanism, not a side effect. Polling is a standard Read operation that queries the state of a resource.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Poll an in-progress research run' and 'Blocks inside the MCP server for waitSeconds'. Polling is a read operation that retrieves status of an existing research run without modifying it.

POLICY

How to control fin_deepagent_research_poll

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_research_poll:

policy.json

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

fin_deepagent_research_poll 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.
