Free to start. No card required.

AI agents use market_update_data to create or modify resources in Technical Analysis. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call market_update_data repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Technical Analysis.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so market_update_data only ever does what you allow.

What does the market_update_data tool do? +

Load ANY stock tickers into the screener database. Supports ALL markets: US, Indian NSE (.NS), BSE (.BO), UK (.L), crypto (BTCUSD), and more. Computes ALL technical indicators (RSI, MACD, BB, SMA, EMA, Ichimoku, Stochastic, ATR, ADX, OBV, candlestick patterns, etc.) AND financial ratios (P/E, P/B, ROE, margins, Piotroski score, Altman Z-score, etc.) in parallel batches and stores them for instant screening via screen_stocks(). Uses market-aware staleness: US stocks refresh after 4PM ET close, Indian stocks after 3:30PM IST close, crypto every 2 hours. Fundamentals (FMP ratios, financials) are cached for 7 days — only OHLCV + technicals are recalculated on each refresh. Args: tickers: List of ticker symbols. Use correct suffix for market: Indian NSE: ["RELIANCE.NS", "TCS.NS"] Indian BSE: ["RELIANCE.BO"] Crypto: ["BTCUSD", "ETHUSD"] US: ["AAPL", "MSFT"] (no suffix) If omitted, defaults to S&P 500 constituents. bg_task: If True (default), runs in background and returns immediately. Set to False to wait for completion before screening. limit: Limit number of stocks to update (for testing).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Technical Analysis MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on market_update_data? +

Register the Technical Analysis MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for market_update_data: 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 Technical Analysis. Nothing to install.

What risk level is market_update_data? +

market_update_data is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit market_update_data? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the market_update_data 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.

How do I block market_update_data completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for market_update_data. 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.

What MCP server provides market_update_data? +

market_update_data is provided by the Technical Analysis MCP server (ta-mcp/technical-analysis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Technical Analysis tool call.
