Low Risk

fx_carry-trade

Currency carry trade P&L decomposition. Use when analyzing carry trade P&L decomposition. Provide high-yield and low-yield rates, entry spot rate, and exit spot rate. Returns: carry return, spot return, total return, and annualized P&L breakdown.

Part of the Quantoracle MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call fx_carry-trade to retrieve information from Quantoracle without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though fx_carry-trade only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the fx_carry-trade tool do? +

Currency carry trade P&L decomposition. Use when analyzing carry trade P&L decomposition. Provide high-yield and low-yield rates, entry spot rate, and exit spot rate. Returns: carry return, spot return, total return, and annualized P&L breakdown.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Quantoracle MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on fx_carry-trade? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for fx_carry-trade. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Quantoracle MCP server.

What risk level is fx_carry-trade? +

fx_carry-trade is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit fx_carry-trade? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the fx_carry-trade rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block fx_carry-trade completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for fx_carry-trade. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides fx_carry-trade? +

fx_carry-trade is provided by the Quantoracle MCP server (QuantOracle/quantoracle). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
