trade_evaluate is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call trade_evaluate 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 trade_evaluate 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so trade_evaluate only ever does what you allow.

What does the trade_evaluate tool do? +

Complete trade evaluation: sizing, risk/reward, Kelly, costs, regime, signals. Replaces 5 individual calls. Use when evaluating whether to take a specific trade. Combines position sizing, risk/reward analysis, transaction cost estimation, regime detection, and technical signals into a single go/no-go verdict. Provide entry/stop/target prices, account size, and recent price history. Returns: position size, costs, signals, regime, Kelly sizing, and FAVORABLE/CAUTION/UNFAVORABLE verdict. PAID ONLY — no free tier.. 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 trade_evaluate? +

Register the Quantoracle MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for trade_evaluate: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Quantoracle. Nothing to install.

What risk level is trade_evaluate? +

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

Can I rate-limit trade_evaluate? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the trade_evaluate rule in your PolicyLayer 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 trade_evaluate completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for trade_evaluate. 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 trade_evaluate? +

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

Enforce policy on every Quantoracle tool call.
