Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs stock_orders safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Open Stocks MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For stock_orders, this is the rule to start with:
stock_orders is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Open Stocks MCP, apply this rule, and every stock_orders call is checked against it from then on.
