WHAT IT DOES

Why alpha_get_reward_markets needs a policy

This tool retrieves market data including reward information from the Algorand blockchain. It queries existing data without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. The fields returned (totalRewards, rewardsPaidOut) are read-only metrics. Even in context of the sibling trading tools (cancel_order, create_market_order), this specific tool performs only data retrieval with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name uses 'get' verb and description states 'Fetch Alpha Arcade markets' with informational fields (totalRewards, rewardsPaidOut). No mutation, deletion, or execution of trades/orders.

POLICY

How to control alpha_get_reward_markets

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_reward_markets:

policy.json

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

alpha_get_reward_markets is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Algorand MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
