What technical_indicators does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call technical_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 |
|---|---|---|---|
close | array | — | Closing prices, oldest first (or give candles) |
period | integer | — | Override the period (default: sma/ema/bollinger 20, rsi/atr/stochastic/roc 14) |
series | integer | — | Also return the last N values of each indicator |
candles | array | — | OHLCV candles oldest first: objects {open,high,low,close,volume} or arrays [time,open,high,low,close,volume] |
indicators | array | — | Which indicators (atr, stochastic, obv, vwap need candles) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why technical_indicators is rated Low
Even though technical_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 technical_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 technical_indicators, this is the rule to start with:
technical_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 technical_indicators call is checked against it from then on.

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