What quick_screen does on PropProfessor MCP

AI agents call quick_screen to retrieve information from PropProfessor MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why quick_screen needs a policy

quick_screen performs market scanning and analysis to identify betting opportunities, then returns filtered and ranked results to the user. This is purely informational data retrieval with no side effects. While the context is financial (betting/sports analytics), the tool itself only reads and synthesizes existing data; it does not execute trades, place bets, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool description indicates it 'scans', 'finds', and 'returns ranked results' — all read operations. The workflow involves querying data across books and leagues, researching player context, and presenting information.
