Critical Risk

Why cancel_order needs a policy

Order cancellation is an irreversible action that destroys the state of an existing order in the trading system. While not a traditional data deletion, it terminates a financial commitment/instruction whose effects cannot be undone without manual re-entry.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cancel_order' with description 'Cancel an existing order' indicates irreversible termination of a pending financial order.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access cancel_order gives an agent:

How to control cancel_order

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fyers MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cancel_order:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "cancel_order"
  ]
}

cancel_order disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Fyers MCP Server — 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.
