What float_next does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call float_next 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
dir | string | Yes | |
bits | string | — | |
value | string | — | |
width | integer | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why float_next is rated Low
Even though float_next 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.

The rule that runs float_next 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_next, this is the rule to start with:
float_next 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_next call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about float_next
The next binary32 or binary64 value up or down. Positive zero and negative zero both step up to the smallest positive subnormal, and both step down to the smallest negative one. Infinity stays put at its end. A NaN is returned with its payload unchanged. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: GET https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/float-next. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
float_next accepts 4 parameters: dir, bits, value, width. Required: dir. 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_next: 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_next 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_next 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_next. 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_next 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.
