Why cancel_order needs a policy

Cancelling an order on a futures trading platform is an irreversible action — once cancelled, the order cannot be restored. The server context (order management on Binance USDT-M Futures) and the sibling tool 'cancel_all_orders' confirm this is an order cancellation tool. While it doesn't directly move money, it destroys an existing market instruction irreversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cancel_order' on a Binance Futures trading server; description is empty and uninformative.

How to control cancel_order

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "cancel_order"
  ]
}

cancel_order disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
