Why get_atr needs a policy

ATR is a technical indicator calculation that retrieves market data or pre-calculated values for analysis purposes. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed as a result of calling this tool. It is a passive read operation used to inform trading decisions but does not itself perform trades or modify system state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_atr' and description 'Get ATR (Average True Range) for a symbol' indicates data retrieval. The verb 'Get' and the phrase 'for a symbol' (query parameter) confirm this is a retrieval operation without side effects.

How to control get_atr

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_atr:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_atr": {}
  }
}

get_atr is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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