Why schwab_accounts needs a policy

This tool retrieves account information (balances and positions) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any financial transactions. It is a read-only query of account state. The severity is low because while exposure of account details carries some confidentiality risk, the tool itself performs no irreversible actions or fund movements.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'schwab_accounts' and description 'Get all Schwab linked accounts with balances and positions' indicate data retrieval only. Verbs 'Get' and 'with' (indicating passive data presentation) show no modification, deletion, or execution of trades.

How to control schwab_accounts

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 schwab_accounts:

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

schwab_accounts 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 Stocks 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.
