Why create_order needs a policy

Creating a broker order commits real financial obligations (buying/selling securities), making this a Financial category tool. Misuse by an AI agent could result in unintended trades with real monetary consequences, warranting critical severity given the multi-broker context (Kite, Groww, Dhan) and real-time trading capabilities described.

From the tool's definition "Place a new order with the specified broker" — directly initiates a trade/financial transaction on a live broker platform

POLICY

How to control create_order

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_order": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to create_order is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.

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