get_reportability

Check whether a prediction market is safe to cite in published content. Returns a reportability tier (Reportable, Caution, or Fragile) and plain-English editorial guidance. Always call this before citing a market price in an article or report.

Part of the Bellwether MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call get_reportability to retrieve information from Bellwether without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_reportability only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.
