The data your AI pulls from the live match.

MATCH DATA

Active game status

The AI confirms if a player is in a match and pulls the specific game ID.

LOADOUTS

Runes and spells

Your agent identifies the exact runes and summoner spells the player is using.

COMPOSITION

Team matchups

The AI lists the champions for everyone in the match to show the team setup.

The AI provides the raw data, but you have to decide how to use it to win.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent moves from a player's identity to their live game details.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my runes or spells?

    No. The AI only reads data. It cannot change anything in your game or account.

    Can the AI see my match history?

    No. The tools provided only allow the AI to check for an active game.

  • 03

    Does the AI need my Riot password?

    No. You connect the MCP through Vinkius, which keeps your credentials secure.

  • 04

    Can the AI play the game for me?

    No. The AI is a data tool, not a game automation bot.
