WHAT IT DOES

What search_prediction_markets does on Tanod

AI agents call search_prediction_markets to retrieve information from Tanod 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
`q`	object	—	Optional text to search in market titles (2-100 characters). Omit to list markets.
`sort`	object	—	relevance (default with q), volume (default without q), liquidity or end_date.
`limit`	integer	—	Markets returned, 1-25 (default 10).
`status`	string	—	active (default), closed or all.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why search_prediction_markets is rated Low

Even though search_prediction_markets only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_prediction_markets safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tanod, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For search_prediction_markets, this is the rule to start with:

search_prediction_markets Allowed

search_prediction_markets is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_prediction_markets": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tanod, apply this rule, and every search_prediction_markets call is checked against it from then on.
