GetBonds

This API call returns an array of bonds available at Twelve Data API. This list is updated daily.

How to control GetBonds ↓

AI agents call GetBonds to retrieve information from Twelve Data MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

GetBonds retrieves financial instrument metadata (bonds) from the Twelve Data API without side effects. The tool queries existing data and presents it to the caller—a classic Read operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The low severity reflects that merely listing available bonds poses minimal risk to misuse by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool returns an array of bonds with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. Description states it 'returns an array' and the list is 'updated daily' by the service, not by the caller. This is a data retrieval operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access GetBonds gives an agent:

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

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

GetBonds 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 Twelve Data MCP Server — 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.
