AI agents call scan_slate 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 scan_slate 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access scan_slate gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other read tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: allow, with a rate cap to control cost.
Scan today's whole slate in ONE call — each fixture with honest status + value/arb signal. The batch alternative to looping find_match → get_sharp_line per match. Returns every fixture in the filter with its status (finished is excluded from "live"), live score/clock, and a pre-computed value/arb signal; value/arb matches are sorted to the top and the list is truncated to limit (so truncation drops the quiet ones). Line movement is NOT included (that needs the opening lookup) — drill into a single fixture with get_opening_line. DETECTION ONLY / read-only. Args: sport: optional filter — "football" or "basketball". status: optional filter — "live" | "scheduled" | "finished". league: optional external league id (lg_…). markets: optional — limit the value/arb scan to "1x2"/"asian_handicap"/"totals" (default all). period: optional — "full_time" or "half_time" (default both). min_edge_pct: value threshold for the per-match signal (default 1.0). min_margin_pct: arbitrage threshold for the per-match signal (default 0.0). only_signal: if true, return only fixtures that have a value or arb signal. format: odds format — decimal | hk | malay | american | indonesian | probability. limit: max entries to return, signal-first (default 20, max 100).. 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 scan_slate: 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.
scan_slate 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 scan_slate 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 scan_slate. 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.
scan_slate 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.
