How to control cancel_stock_order_by_id

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

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

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