Why fetch_order_book needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries order book data for a cryptocurrency trading pair. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any transactions. While it provides market data useful for trading decisions, the tool itself only reads information. The presence of sibling tools like 'create_order' and 'execute_approved_order' confirms this is the data-retrieval component of the system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'fetch_order_book' and description 'Fetch the order book (L2) for a given symbol' indicate data retrieval with no mutation. The verb 'fetch' and the context of retrieving market data (L2 order book) are characteristic of read-only operations.

How to control fetch_order_book

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Crypto Multi-MCP Hub, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for fetch_order_book:

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

fetch_order_book 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 Crypto Multi-MCP Hub — 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.
