Why get_profile needs a policy

This tool retrieves static user profile data from the Fyers trading platform with no side effects. It is a read-only operation that queries existing information about the authenticated user. While it accesses personal financial account information (which could be sensitive), the tool itself performs no actions that could alter account state, execute trades, or cause financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate data retrieval: 'Get user profile information.' No modification, deletion, or execution of trades/orders occurs.

How to control get_profile

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 get_profile:

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

get_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 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.
