Why options_orders needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical order information and their statuses—a pure query operation with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any trading actions. Even in the context of a trading platform, retrieving read-only order history poses minimal risk: an AI agent misuse would only expose existing order data without enabling unauthorized trades or financial movements.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'options_orders' and description 'Retrieve a list of recent options order history and their statuses' explicitly indicates data retrieval with no modification or execution of trades.

How to control options_orders

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Open Paper Trading MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for options_orders:

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

options_orders 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 Open Paper Trading MCP — 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.
