HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-balldontlie-mcp/nhl-get-betting-odds ## Facts - Tool: `nhl_get_betting_odds` - Server: Mcp (`https://mcp.balldontlie.io/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-balldontlie-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/balldontlie-api/mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade A, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "nhl_get_betting_odds", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why nhl_get_betting_odds is rated Low This tool retrieves betting odds data from a sports API without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. While the data concerns betting, the tool itself does not move money, execute trades, or create financial obligations—it only fetches existing odds information for display or analysis. This is consistent with the other read-like tools in the sibling set (atp_get_player, atp_get_matches, etc.). From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'nhl_get_betting_odds' and description 'Get NHL betting odds for games' indicate a retrieval operation that queries sports data. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any modification or side-effect language confirm this is a read-only operation." ## Use case AI agents call nhl_get_betting_odds to retrieve information from Mcp 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**.
