Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access stock_price_depth gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and VNStock Agent MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for stock_price_depth:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"stock_price_depth": {}
}
} stock_price_depth is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
