What strategy_validate does on OpenFinClaw CLI

AI agents call strategy_validate to retrieve information from OpenFinClaw CLI without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why strategy_validate needs a policy

The tool performs validation—a read-only operation that checks the structure or correctness of a strategy package directory. Validation does not create, modify, delete, or execute trades. It is purely informational, similar to a schema or format check.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'strategy_validate' and description 'Validate a strategy package directory' indicate inspection/validation of existing data without modification, deletion, or execution of trading operations.

How to control strategy_validate

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 strategy_validate:

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

strategy_validate 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 OpenFinClaw CLI — 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.
