WHAT IT DOES

What account_settings does on Open Stocks MCP

AI agents call account_settings to retrieve information from Open Stocks MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why account_settings is rated Low

This tool performs a read-only query of user account settings and preferences. No data is modified, no financial transactions occur, and no external operations are triggered. The action is passive information retrieval with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent. The verb 'Gets' confirms read-only semantics.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'account_settings' combined with description 'Gets account settings and preferences' indicates retrieval of configuration data with no modification or financial action.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs account_settings safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Open Stocks MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For account_settings, this is the rule to start with:

account_settings Allowed

account_settings is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "account_settings": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Open Stocks MCP, apply this rule, and every account_settings call is checked against it from then on.
