WHAT IT DOES

What stats_describe does on ScorpTech x402 API

AI agents call stats_describe 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
`bins`	integer	—	Histogram bins (0 = numpy "auto")
`data`	array	Yes	Array of numbers, an object of named arrays {"a": [...], "b": [...]}, or an array of objects (with "field")
`field`	string	—	Field to read when data is an array of objects (several: comma-separated)
`outlierK`	number	—	Tukey fence multiplier (1.5 = outliers, 3 = extreme)
`confidence`	number	—
`percentiles`	array	—

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why stats_describe is rated Low

Even though stats_describe 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs stats_describe 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 stats_describe, this is the rule to start with:

stats_describe Allowed

stats_describe is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "stats_describe": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every stats_describe call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about stats_describe

What does the stats_describe tool do? +

Descriptive statistics for one or many numeric series: count / missing, mean, median, mode, range, sample and population variance / SD, standard error, CV, skewness and excess kurtosis (Excel SKEW / KURT), quartiles, IQR, any percentiles (numpy / PERCENTILE.INC), MAD, geometric and harmonic means, a t confidence interval, Tukey outliers and a histogram (numpy "auto" bins). Several named series also get Pearson and Spearman correlation matrices. Accepts numbers, numeric strings, nulls / "NA" (missing) or objects plus a field name. Price: $0.002 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/stats-describe. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does stats_describe accept? +

stats_describe accepts 6 parameters: bins, data, field, outlierK, confidence, percentiles. Required: data. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on stats_describe? +

Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stats_describe: 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.

What risk level is stats_describe? +

stats_describe is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit stats_describe? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stats_describe 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.

How do I block stats_describe completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stats_describe. 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.

What MCP server provides stats_describe? +

stats_describe 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.
