Cancel a specific stock order by its ID
AI agents call cancel_stock_order_by_id to permanently remove resources in Open Paper Trading MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Cancelling a stock order is an irreversible action — once cancelled, the order cannot be reinstated. This permanently removes a pending trade from the market, which cannot be undone. Even in a paper trading context, the action models a destructive/irreversible operation with high blast radius if misused by an AI agent targeting wrong orders.
