AI agents call recent_changes to retrieve information from Thegamesdb without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
type | string | Yes | Entity type. Only "company" supported today. |
since | string | Yes | Window start — ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Use "30d" or "1m" for typical monitoring. |
value | string | Yes | Ticker (e.g., "AAPL") or zero-padded CIK (e.g., "0000320193"). |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
recent_changes performs read-only operations across multiple data sources (SEC filings, news APIs, patent databases). It retrieves and aggregates existing public information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The fan-out behavior to multiple APIs is still fundamentally a query pattern. No financial transactions, code execution, or destructive actions are possible.
From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it retrieves "change feed for a company" by fanning out to SEC EDGAR filings, news mentions via GDELT/GNews, and USPTO patents.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
"What's new with X" / "latest on Y" / "what happened to Z this week / month / quarter" / "updates on Acme" / "news on Tesla recently" / "what's happening with Apple" — change feed for a company in the last N days/weeks/months in ONE parallel call. Fans out to SEC EDGAR (filings since since), GDELT→GNews fallback (news mentions in window — GDELT preferred, GNews when rate-limited or 5xx), USPTO (patents granted; PatentsView API sunset May 2025 so this soft-fails until reactivated). since accepts ISO date ("2026-04-01") or relative shorthand ("7d", "30d", "3m", "1y"). Returns structured changes[] grouped by source + total_changes count + pipeworx:// citation URIs. Use entity_profile instead when you want the static profile (filings + fundamentals + LEI + patents) regardless of window. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Thegamesdb MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
recent_changes accepts 3 parameters: type, since, value. Required: type, since, value. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Thegamesdb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for recent_changes: 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 Thegamesdb. Nothing to install.
recent_changes 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 recent_changes 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 recent_changes. 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.
recent_changes is provided by the Thegamesdb MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/thegamesdb/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
