What batch_quotes does on Itick
AI agents call batch_quotes to retrieve information from Itick without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why batch_quotes is rated Low
This tool retrieves quote data (price, bid/ask, etc.) for multiple instruments in batch. Market data retrieval is a passive read operation that queries existing information without modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The empty description slightly reduces confidence, but the naming convention and sibling context make the classification clear.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'batch_quotes' combined with sibling tools (single_quote, batch_klines, batch_ticks, batch_depths) all clearly retrieve market data.

The rule that runs batch_quotes safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Itick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For batch_quotes, this is the rule to start with:
batch_quotes is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Itick, apply this rule, and every batch_quotes call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about batch_quotes
batch_quotes is a read tool on the Itick MCP server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Itick MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Itick MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for batch_quotes: 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 Itick. Nothing to install.
batch_quotes 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 batch_quotes 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 batch_quotes. 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.
batch_quotes is provided by the Itick MCP server (281287994w-art/itick-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
