qd_update_filter_group

THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why qd_update_filter_group needs a policy

The tool modifies existing filter groups reversibly—an update operation. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), involve financial transactions (Financial), or merely read data (Read). The medium severity reflects that misconfigured filters could affect trading analysis decisions, but the reversible nature and bounded scope limit blast radius.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update fields on an existing filter group', indicating modification of data. Sibling tools include delete operations (qd_delete_filter_group, qd_delete_page), confirming this is a data management interface.

POLICY

How to control qd_update_filter_group

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_update_filter_group:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "qd_update_filter_group": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "qd_update_filter_group_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

qd_update_filter_group stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
