find_value
Find +EV value bets in a fixture — where a book's price beats the sharp fair line — in ONE call. Resolves the fixture, de-vigs the sharp book (Pinnacle) at each line to get the fair price, then flags every outcome whose best available price across books exceeds that fair price.

What find_value does on Infersports
AI agents call find_value to retrieve information from Infersports 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 |

date | object | — | |
query | string | Yes | |
sport | object | — | |
format | string | — | |
period | object | — | |
markets | object | — | |
min_edge_pct | number | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why find_value is rated Low
find_value retrieves odds data, performs mathematical analysis (de-vigging, comparing prices), and returns informational results about potential value. It explicitly does not execute bets, move money, or modify any data. This is pure data retrieval and analysis with no side effects, fitting the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'DETECTION ONLY: this surfaces the edge and which book holds it; it does NOT size stakes or link out to bet.' The tool 'Resolves the fixture, de-vigs the sharp book...then flags every outcome' — these are query and analysis…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs find_value safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Infersports, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For find_value, this is the rule to start with:
find_value 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 Infersports, apply this rule, and every find_value call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about find_value
Find +EV value bets in a fixture — where a book's price beats the sharp fair line — in ONE call. Resolves the fixture, de-vigs the sharp book (Pinnacle) at each line to get the fair price, then flags every outcome whose best available price across books exceeds that fair price. DETECTION ONLY: this surfaces the edge and which book holds it; it does NOT size stakes or link out to bet. Args: query: natural-language fixture, e.g. "Netherlands vs Algeria" or a single team. markets: optional filter — any of "1x2", "asian_handicap", "totals" (default: all). period: optional — "full_time" or "half_time" (default: both). min_edge_pct: only report outcomes beating fair by at least this % (default 1.0). format: odds format — decimal | hk | malay | american | indonesian | probability. sport: optional filter — "football" or "basketball". date: optional UTC date "YYYY-MM-DD" to disambiguate same-name fixtures. On an ambiguous query, status is "ambiguous" and ask_user carries a prompt — do not guess. Needs the sharp book to de-vig; on the Free tier note flags that fair is approximate. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Infersports MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
find_value accepts 7 parameters: date, query, sport, format, period, markets, min_edge_pct. Required: query. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Infersports MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_value: 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 Infersports. Nothing to install.
find_value 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 find_value 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 find_value. 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.
find_value is provided by the Infersports MCP server (https://api.infersports.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
