AI agents call positions_get to retrieve information from MetaTrader 5 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Despite empty description, the naming pattern and server context strongly suggest this retrieves trading positions from a MetaTrader 5 account without modification. However, position data is financially sensitive in a trading context—misuse could enable unauthorized monitoring of trading activity or inform market manipulation—justifying medium severity.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MetaTrader 5 MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for positions_get:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"positions_get": {}
}
}positions_get is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
