Calculate delta-adjusted notional exposure across all IBKR accounts. Computes option deltas using Black-Scholes and reports long/short exposure by account and underlying symbol. Requires TWS or IB Gateway running locally. Args: port: IB port (7496 for live, 7497 for paper)
AI agents call ib_delta_exposure 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.
While this tool accesses sensitive financial portfolio data (positions, holdings, Greeks), it performs read-only analysis. However, severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because the tool operates on live trading accounts and exposes detailed exposure metrics that could inform harmful decisions if misused by an AI agent (e.g., understanding full portfolio risk to plan unauthorized trades).
From the tool's definition Tool 'calculates' and 'reports' delta-adjusted exposure and option deltas—it retrieves and computes derived data from IBKR accounts without modifying positions or executing trades.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ib_delta_exposure 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_delta_exposure:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"ib_delta_exposure": {}
}
}ib_delta_exposure is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Calculate delta-adjusted notional exposure across all IBKR accounts. Computes option deltas using Black-Scholes and reports long/short exposure by account and underlying symbol. Requires TWS or IB Gateway running locally. Args: port: IB port (7496 for live, 7497 for paper). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Trading Skills MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Trading Skills MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ib_delta_exposure: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Trading Skills. Nothing to install.
ib_delta_exposure is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ib_delta_exposure rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ib_delta_exposure. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
ib_delta_exposure is provided by the Trading Skills MCP server (staskh/trading_skills). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
