AI agents call qd_get_net_flow to retrieve information from QuantData MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a Read operation—it retrieves financial market data without modifying state. Severity is medium rather than low because financial market data (especially real-time derivatives data) could be misused to inform unauthorized trading decisions or manipulate markets if combined with execution capabilities, but this tool alone only reads data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'qd_get_net_flow' suggests retrieval of market data (net flow metrics). Server description indicates tools provide 'access to real-time and historical SPX 0DTE options market data' for 'analysis of market indicators'.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access qd_get_net_flow gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and QuantData MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for qd_get_net_flow:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"qd_get_net_flow": {}
}
} qd_get_net_flow is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

qd_get_net_flow. It is categorised as a Read tool in the QuantData MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the QuantData MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for qd_get_net_flow: 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 QuantData MCP Server. Nothing to install.
qd_get_net_flow 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 qd_get_net_flow 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 qd_get_net_flow. 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.
qd_get_net_flow is provided by the QuantData MCP Server MCP server (zzulanas/quantdata-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from QuantData MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
