# traders.backtest Simulate copying a trader Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `traders.backtest`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/traders.backtest ## Facts - Tool: `traders.backtest` - Server: Polymarket Agent Mcp (`demwick/polymarket-agent-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/demwick/polymarket-agent-mcp - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "traders.backtest", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why traders.backtest is rated High A backtest/simulation executes a computational process that models trading activity. It does not move real money or irreversibly modify data, but it runs an operation whose results depend on the arguments provided (trader selection, parameters). It falls under Execute rather than Read because it performs a dynamic computation rather than simply retrieving stored data. From the tool's own definition: "Simulate copying a trader — runs a simulation/backtest of trading behavior" ## Use case AI agents invoke traders.backtest to trigger actions in Polymarket Agent Mcp. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Polymarket Agent Mcp: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "traders.backtest": { "limits": [ { "counter": "traders.backtest_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Polymarket Agent Mcp (47) - `orders.cancel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/orders.cancel.md - `watchlist.rebalance` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/watchlist.rebalance.md - `monitor.start` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/monitor.start.md - `monitor.stop` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/monitor.stop.md - `config.go_live` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/config.go-live.md - `orders.batch` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/orders.batch.md - `orders.buy` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/orders.buy.md - `orders.sell` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/orders.sell.md - `positions.check_exits` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/positions.check-exits.md - `positions.close` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/positions.close.md - `wta.bid` — Financial — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/wta.bid.md - `agent.log_cycle` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/agent.log-cycle.md - `dashboard.get` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/dashboard.get.md - `flow.discover` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/flow.discover.md - `markets.analyze` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.analyze.md - `markets.arbitrage` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.arbitrage.md - `markets.check` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.check.md - `markets.compare` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.compare.md - `markets.discover` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.discover.md - `markets.events` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.events.md - `markets.featured` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.featured.md - `markets.holders` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.holders.md - `markets.price` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.price.md - `markets.price_history` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.price-history.md - `markets.related` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.related.md - `markets.search` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.search.md - `markets.trending` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.trending.md - `markets.watch_price` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/markets.watch-price.md - `orders.list` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/orders.list.md - `orders.status` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp/orders.status.md - …and 17 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/demwick-polymarket-agent-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
