Why schwab_sell_stock_market needs a policy

This tool directly executes a financial transaction — selling stock at market price through a broker API. It irreversibly commits a financial obligation and can result in significant monetary loss if misused. Market sell orders execute immediately at current market prices with no ability to cancel once placed, making this both Financial and high-impact.

How to control schwab_sell_stock_market

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "schwab_sell_stock_market": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to schwab_sell_stock_market is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
