# scan_slate 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 league filter — a name (fuzzy-matched, e.g. "World Cup") or an external 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 performs no write, delete, execute, or financial operations—purely data retrieval and display. Severity is low because misuse would at worst return information an agent could act upon, but the tool itself creates no side effects. From the tool's own definition: "'Scan today's whole slate in ONE call' and 'DETECTION ONLY / read-only' confirm this tool retrieves and displays fixture data, odds, and value signals without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The server itself is described as 'Read-only.'" Risk signals: High parameter count (10 properties) ## Use case AI agents call scan_slate 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) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Infersports: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "scan_slate": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Infersports (16) - `compare_lines` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/compare-lines.md - `compare_prob` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/compare-prob.md - `explain_handicap` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/explain-handicap.md - `find_arbitrage` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/find-arbitrage.md - `find_match` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/find-match.md - `find_value` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/find-value.md - `get_match_odds` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/get-match-odds.md - `get_opening_line` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/get-opening-line.md - `get_result` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/get-result.md - `get_sharp_line` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/get-sharp-line.md - `list_bookmakers` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/list-bookmakers.md - `list_events` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/list-events.md - `list_results` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/list-results.md - `list_today_matches` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/list-today-matches.md - `match_info` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/match-info.md - `score_prob` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/dev-infersports-infersports/score-prob.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
