How to control enhance_error_message ↓

AI agents call enhance_error_message to retrieve information from QuantConnect without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves contextual information about existing errors and formats suggestions for display. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not trigger external operations. It is purely informational, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'enhance_error_message' and description states it 'Show[s] additional context and suggestions for error messages' — a read-only operation that retrieves and displays diagnostic information without modifying state or executing code.

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

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

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

enhance_error_message 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 QuantConnect — 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.
