Why get_financials needs a policy

The tool follows the naming pattern and functional pattern of other read-only tools on this MCP server. It retrieves financial information rather than modifying, executing, or deleting data. Accessing publicly-available market financial data carries minimal security risk even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_financials' indicates data retrieval. All sibling tools (get_quote, get_company, get_historical, get_market_summary, etc.) are read-only query operations retrieving public market data.

How to control get_financials

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

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

get_financials 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 Sahmk — 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.
