Get the current whitelist of trading pairs.
AI agents call fetch_whitelist to retrieve information from Freqtrade-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves configuration data (the whitelist of trading pairs) from the Freqtrade bot without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any trades. It is a read-only operation with minimal blast radius if misused—it only exposes information about which pairs are eligible for trading, not actual financial transactions or destructive actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'fetch_whitelist' and description 'Get the current whitelist of trading pairs' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no data modification or execution of trades.

Register the Freqtrade- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fetch_whitelist: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Freqtrade-MCP. Nothing to install.
fetch_whitelist is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the fetch_whitelist rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for fetch_whitelist. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
fetch_whitelist is provided by the Freqtrade- MCP server (worlddebugger/freqtrade-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
