Understand the exchange's global parameters that affect all trading activity. Use this tool when you need to: - Check fee schedules before placing trades - Verify trading limits and restrictions - Understand exchange-wide parameters that affect your trading - Keep up with changes to the exchange'...
AI agents call paradex_system_config to retrieve information from Paradex MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries configuration data without modifying state or executing trades. It provides informational context for trading decisions but does not itself execute orders, move funds, or change exchange settings. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access publicly available exchange parameters.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it retrieves exchange parameters: 'Check fee schedules', 'Verify trading limits and restrictions', 'Understand exchange-wide parameters'.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access paradex_system_config gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Paradex MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for paradex_system_config:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"paradex_system_config": {}
}
}paradex_system_config is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
