Fetch full details for a single Alpha Arcade prediction market. Pass marketAppId (numeric, always required) and optionally marketId (UUID) for richer API data.
AI agents call alpha_get_market to retrieve information from Algorand MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only fetches and returns market data (details for a prediction market). It accepts parameters (marketAppId and optionally marketId) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The 'Fetch' verb and context of retrieving market details classify it as a Read operation with low severity—there is minimal blast radius if misused, as it only exposes information retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'alpha_get_market' and description 'Fetch full details for a single Alpha Arcade prediction market' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves data without modifying or executing side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access alpha_get_market gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Algorand MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for alpha_get_market:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"alpha_get_market": {}
}
}alpha_get_market is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Fetch full details for a single Alpha Arcade prediction market. Pass marketAppId (numeric, always required) and optionally marketId (UUID) for richer API data. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Algorand MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Algorand MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for alpha_get_market: 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 Algorand MCP. Nothing to install.
alpha_get_market 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 alpha_get_market 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 alpha_get_market. 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.
alpha_get_market is provided by the Algorand MCP server (goplausible/algorand-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Algorand MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
