What float_bits does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call float_bits to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
bits | string | — | |
value | string | — | |
width | integer | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why float_bits is rated Low
Even though float_bits 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 float_bits safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For float_bits, this is the rule to start with:
float_bits 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 ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every float_bits call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about float_bits
Explain an IEEE 754 binary32 or binary64 value. Pass bits as hex, or a decimal or fraction, which is rounded ties-to-even. Returns the class, sign, unbiased exponent, fraction bits, and the exact value. Negative zero stays negative. The word nan is the quiet NaN; snan is the signaling NaN with payload 1. The top fraction bit is the quiet bit. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: GET https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/float-bits. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
float_bits accepts 3 parameters: bits, value, width. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for float_bits: 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 ScorpTech x402 API. Nothing to install.
float_bits 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 float_bits 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 float_bits. 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.
float_bits is provided by the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server (https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
