Detect Follow-Through Days (FTDs) on major indices to confirm market bottoms.
AI agents call detect_ftd to retrieve information from Momentum without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool analyzes and retrieves market data to identify technical chart patterns (Follow-Through Days). It performs calculations on existing market indices to surface insights but does not execute trades, modify data, delete data, or trigger external operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'detect_ftd' and description 'Detect Follow-Through Days (FTDs) on major indices to confirm market bottoms' indicate data analysis and pattern detection on historical market data without modifying, executing external operations, or committing…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access detect_ftd gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Momentum, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for detect_ftd:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"detect_ftd": {}
}
}detect_ftd is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Detect Follow-Through Days (FTDs) on major indices to confirm market bottoms. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Momentum MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Momentum MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for detect_ftd: 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 Momentum. Nothing to install.
detect_ftd 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 detect_ftd 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 detect_ftd. 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.
detect_ftd is provided by the Momentum MCP server (mphinance/momentum-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Momentum, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
