How to control ib_pmcc_advisor ↓

AI agents call ib_pmcc_advisor 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.

Low Risk

Even though ib_pmcc_advisor only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ib_pmcc_advisor 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_pmcc_advisor:

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

ib_pmcc_advisor 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 Trading Skills — 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.
