WHAT IT DOES

What markets.watch does on Polymarket Agent Mcp

AI agents use markets.watch to create or update resources in Polymarket Agent Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Polymarket Agent Mcp environment.

RISK

Why markets.watch is rated Medium

This tool creates and modifies a personal watchlist (add/remove markets, set alert thresholds). It writes configuration/preference data reversibly — markets can be added or removed freely. While it doesn't directly execute trades or move money, misconfigured alerts could indirectly trigger downstream financial actions via check_exits. The primary action is a reversible write to a watchlist data structure.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs markets.watch safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Polymarket Agent Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For markets.watch, this is the rule to start with:

markets.watch Rate-limited

markets.watch stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
