Get ADX (Average Directional Index) for a symbol from active or specific broker in your session
AI agents call get_adx to retrieve information from Turtlestack Lite without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves technical indicator data (ADX) for a given symbol from a broker. It performs a read-only query operation that does not modify state, execute commands, delete data, or move money. Even in a trading context, requesting a technical indicator value is purely informational and carries minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—it cannot directly cause financial loss or irreversible damage.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_adx' and description 'Get ADX (Average Directional Index) for a symbol' indicate data retrieval only.

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 get_adx:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_adx": {}
}
}get_adx is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
