clear_quantconnect_auth

THE RISK

Critical Risk

Clearing authentication configuration is an irreversible action that removes stored credentials/config, effectively disconnecting the platform from QuantConnect. This cannot be undone without re-authenticating, and misuse by an AI agent could disrupt all trading platform operations. Classified as Destructive due to the permanent removal of configuration data.

HOW TO CONTROL CLEAR_QUANTCONNECT_AUTH

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "clear_quantconnect_auth"
  ]
}

clear_quantconnect_auth disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register QuantConnect MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
