Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves account position information without modifying, deleting, or executing financial transactions. It is a read-only query operation that returns data about existing positions. While the OKX exchange context involves financial instruments, the tool itself only reads data and does not move money or commit financial obligations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'account_get_positions' uses 'get' which retrieves data. Description states 'Get current open positions' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of trades.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get current open positions across all instrument types (MARGIN, SWAP, FUTURES, OPTION, EVENTS). Use swap_get_positions for SWAP/FUTURES-only queries. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Okx Trade MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
account_get_positions accepts 3 parameters: posId, instId, instType. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Okx Trade MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for account_get_positions: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Okx Trade. Nothing to install.
account_get_positions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the account_get_positions rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for account_get_positions. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
