Fetch full details for a single market by ID (app ID string for on-chain, UUID for API). Returns the complete market object including options for multi-choice markets.
AI agents call get_market to retrieve information from Alpha Arcade without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
get_market retrieves and returns market data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no capability to create orders, transfer funds, or trigger transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only obtain market information already available on-chain. This is a straightforward read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Fetch[es] full details for a single market by ID' and 'Returns the complete market object'. The verb 'Fetch' and the retrieval-only nature confirm this is a query operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_market gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Alpha Arcade, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_market:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_market": {}
}
}get_market is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Fetch full details for a single market by ID (app ID string for on-chain, UUID for API). Returns the complete market object including options for multi-choice markets. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Alpha Arcade MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Alpha Arcade MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_market: 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 Alpha Arcade. Nothing to install.
get_market 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 get_market 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 get_market. 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.
get_market is provided by the Alpha Arcade MCP server (phara23/alpha-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Alpha Arcade, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
