What getStockPriceList does on API Ninjas
AI agents call getStockPriceList to retrieve information from API Ninjas without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | — | Number of results to return. Must be between 1 and 1000. Default is 100. |
offset | integer | — | Number of results to offset for pagination. Default is 0. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why getStockPriceList is rated Low
Even though getStockPriceList only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs getStockPriceList safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and API Ninjas, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For getStockPriceList, this is the rule to start with:
getStockPriceList 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 API Ninjas, apply this rule, and every getStockPriceList call is checked against it from then on.
