Why create_auth_token needs a policy

This tool performs an irreversible Write action (creating a new authentication token). While it does not delete or overwrite data, it creates a new credential that persists and can be used for subsequent operations. The severity is high because a compromised or misused token could grant broad access to the user's eToro account and associated APIs.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it 'Creates and returns a new authentication token' — a direct create operation that modifies the user's authentication state by introducing a new credential.

How to control create_auth_token

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_auth_token": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_auth_token_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_auth_token stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register eToro MCP Server — 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.
