Opportunity Board: scan multiple tickers for best options trades.
AI agents call sweep_setups 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 performs analysis and screening of market data to identify trading opportunities. While it operates in the financial domain, it does not execute trades, move money, or commit financial obligations—it only reads and analyzes data to generate recommendations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'scan multiple tickers for best options trades' and is part of a quantitative analysis server focused on screening, analyzing indicators, and research.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sweep_setups 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 sweep_setups:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"sweep_setups": {}
}
}sweep_setups is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Opportunity Board: scan multiple tickers for best options trades. 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 sweep_setups: 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.
sweep_setups 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 sweep_setups 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 sweep_setups. 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.
sweep_setups 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.
