Why schwab_build_user_profile needs a policy

This tool reads and normalizes existing account and preference data into a user profile. It appears to retrieve and transform data without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. The word 'build' here means constructing a data structure from existing data, not creating new records. Severity is low as it only reads/aggregates existing profile information.

How to control schwab_build_user_profile

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_build_user_profile:

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

schwab_build_user_profile 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.
