Search the PredictHQ Events API for real-world events (concerts, sports, conferences, festivals, public holidays, severe weather, etc.) used for demand forecasting.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs read-only queries against a public events database. It retrieves structured event information for forecasting purposes with no side effects, data modifications, or external operations. The search parameters are constrained (category, country, date windows) and results are informational only. Misuse by an AI agent would be limited to information gathering without irreversible consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool searches and retrieves event data from PredictHQ Events API with filters (query, category, country, date range). Returns event information including rank, attendance, dates, location. No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities described.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search the PredictHQ Events API for real-world events (concerts, sports, conferences, festivals, public holidays, severe weather, etc.) used for demand forecasting. Filter by free-text query, category, country, and an active-date window; results are ranked by predicted impact. Returns each event with its rank, predicted attendance, dates, and location. Example: search_events({ query: "taylor swift", country: "US", category: "concerts", start: "2026-06-01", end: "2026-12-31" }). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Predicthq MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
search_events accepts 7 parameters: end, limit, query, start, _apiKey, country, category. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Mcp Predicthq MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_events: 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 Mcp Predicthq. Nothing to install.
search_events 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 search_events 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 search_events. 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.
search_events is provided by the Mcp Predicthq MCP server (pipeworx-io/mcp-predicthq). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
