AI agents call get_account_holdings to retrieve information from Monarch 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 existing investment holdings data for display/analysis purposes. It queries data with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could view account holdings they shouldn't see, but cannot move money, execute commands, or modify data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_account_holdings' and description 'Get investment holdings for a specific account' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the lack of any modification, deletion, or execution language confirm this is a read-only query.

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

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

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

get_account_holdings 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 Monarch — 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.
