AI agents call ib_collar to retrieve information from Trading Skills without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to generate a report and provide recommendations (read/analysis), not execute actual trades. However, it connects to TWS/IB Gateway (a live brokerage platform), and the description mentions 'portfolio management' in the server context. The word 'recommends' suggests advisory output rather than order placement.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ib_collar gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Trading Skills, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ib_collar:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"ib_collar": {}
}
}ib_collar is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
