Look up specific orders by transaction id (up to 50).
AI agents call query_orders to retrieve information from Mcp Kraken without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation on existing orders. It queries and returns order information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The maximum of 50 orders per query further limits its impact. While it could expose sensitive trading history, the read-only nature and lack of side effects place it in the Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Look up specific orders by transaction id' - a read-only query operation that retrieves order information without modifying data. No side effects mentioned.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Look up specific orders by transaction id (up to 50). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Kraken MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Kraken MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_orders: 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 Mcp Kraken. Nothing to install.
query_orders 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 query_orders 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 query_orders. 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.
query_orders is provided by the Mcp Kraken MCP server (xavierbeheydt/mcp-kraken). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
