Unlock trading operations for real/simulated accounts.

How to control unlock_trade ↓

AI agents invoke unlock_trade to trigger actions in Futu Stock MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

This tool unlocks trading capabilities on real or simulated financial accounts. While it doesn't directly move money, it removes a security barrier that gates all subsequent trade execution. Misuse by an AI agent could enable unauthorized trade execution across HK, US, and A-share markets — making it a critical enabler of financial harm.

From the tool's definition Unlock trading operations for real/simulated accounts

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

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "unlock_trade": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "unlock_trade_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

unlock_trade stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Futu Stock 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.
