What security_profile does on Open Stocks MCP

Why security_profile needs a policy

The verb 'Gets' and the absence of any language indicating mutation, deletion, or execution (e.g., 'updates', 'deletes', 'executes') confirm this is a read-only query. While the tool accesses sensitive user profile information, the read-only nature places it in the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'security_profile' and description 'Gets security profile and settings' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control security_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 security_profile:

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

security_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.
