Backtest a betting strategy against historical data
AI agents call backtest_strategy to retrieve information from Fantasy MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Backtesting runs analysis against historical data to evaluate a strategy's past performance. It is fundamentally a read/query operation — it retrieves historical data and computes statistics without placing bets, moving money, or modifying state.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Backtest a betting strategy against historical data. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Fantasy MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Fantasy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for backtest_strategy: 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 Fantasy MCP. Nothing to install.
backtest_strategy 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 backtest_strategy 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 backtest_strategy. 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.
backtest_strategy is provided by the Fantasy MCP server (mattarm/fantasy_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
