How to control validate_stock_symbol_tool ↓

AI agents call validate_stock_symbol_tool to retrieve information from Nepse API MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Validation tools typically check input against reference data without modifying state. Given that all sibling tools are Read category (querying market data, company lists, graphs), this validator almost certainly performs symbol lookup or format checking. No evidence of writes, execution, destruction, or financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'validate_stock_symbol_tool' indicates validation/checking of stock symbols; sibling tools are all read-only data retrieval functions (get_company_list, get_company_symbol, get_daily_*_graph, etc.); description is empty but context strongly suggests…

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

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

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

validate_stock_symbol_tool 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 Nepse API 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.
