## Why get_match_odds is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries betting odds data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It accepts an event_id and optional filters to return odds information in various formats. No side effects occur—it is a pure data retrieval operation consistent with Read category tools like 'get' and 'fetch'.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Get all current odds for a match across bookmakers' with parameters for filtering and formatting existing odds data. Server description confirms 'Read-only' nature."

## Use case

AI agents call get_match_odds 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
