List today's (UTC) fixtures — "what games are on today / right now?". Each fixture carries its status, live score, the live match clock (upstream minute text, verbatim e.g. "1h 25" / "2h 47" / "ht") when in-running, and a ready-to-read summary (live score & clock, or the kickoff time).

AI agents call list_today_matches to retrieve information from Infersports without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though list_today_matches only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

List today's (UTC) fixtures — "what games are on today / right now?". Each fixture carries its status, live score, the live match clock (upstream minute text, verbatim e.g. "1h 25" / "2h 47" / "ht") when in-running, and a ready-to-read summary (live score & clock, or the kickoff time). Read clock for the real minute rather than estimating it from kickoff. clock is null pre-match. Args: sport: optional filter — "football" or "basketball". status: optional filter — "live", "scheduled" or "finished". league: optional external league id ("lg_…"). limit: max fixtures to return (1–200, default 50). timezone: optional IANA timezone (e.g. "America/New_York", "Asia/Shanghai") to render each fixture's kickoff in its summary as local time; default UTC.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Infersports MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Infersports MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_today_matches: 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.
list_today_matches 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 list_today_matches 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 list_today_matches. 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.
list_today_matches 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.
