Cancel one of your open orders on the exchange.
AI agents call cancel_order to permanently remove resources in Theagora MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Cancelling an open order on a marketplace/exchange is irreversible — once cancelled, the order is removed from the order book and cannot be reinstated. In a financial marketplace context, this could forfeit trading opportunities, affect escrow states, or disrupt service delivery agreements. The action cannot be undone, placing it in the Destructive category.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Cancel one of your open orders on the exchange. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Theagora MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Theagora MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cancel_order: 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 Theagora MCP Server. Nothing to install.
cancel_order is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the cancel_order 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 cancel_order. 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.
cancel_order is provided by the Theagora MCP Server MCP server (theagoralabs/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
