AI agents call paradex_trades to retrieve information from MCP Paradex Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Despite the empty description, contextual analysis of the tool name and sibling tools indicates this is a data retrieval function for querying historical trades on the Paradex platform. No evidence suggests it creates, modifies, or executes trades. Severity is medium because trade data could inform financial decisions, but the tool itself performs no financial transaction.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'paradex_trades' appears in a trading platform context alongside order management and position monitoring tools. The name suggests retrieval of trade history or data. Description is empty, reducing confidence.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access paradex_trades gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Paradex Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for paradex_trades:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"paradex_trades": {}
}
}paradex_trades is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the MCP Paradex Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for paradex_trades: 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 MCP Paradex Server. Nothing to install.
paradex_trades 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 paradex_trades 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 paradex_trades. 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.
paradex_trades is provided by the MCP Paradex Server MCP server (sv/mcp-paradex-py). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from MCP Paradex Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
