What macro_indicators does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call macro_indicators 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
to | integer | — | Last year (default current year; IMF projections up to +5) |
from | integer | — | First year (default to-5) |
source | string | — | both (default), worldbank or imf |
country | string | Yes | ISO 3166 alpha-2 or alpha-3 codes, comma-separated (max 10), e.g. US,DEU,JP |
indicators | string | — | Comma list from: gdp, gdp_growth, gdp_per_capita, inflation, unemployment, population, government_debt, current_account (default gdp,gdp_growth,inflation,unempl |

Why macro_indicators is rated Low
Even though macro_indicators 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 macro_indicators 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 macro_indicators, this is the rule to start with:
macro_indicators 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 macro_indicators call is checked against it from then on.
