it could bring pests if it isn't fully composted into the soil. make sure to bury it a few inches deep if possible.

It will definitely enrich the soil, but only if it is totally broken down, FRUIT FLIES love rotting tomato, so if its not totally decomposed (composted) do not use it. A good experiment would be to cut up a tomato leave it on top of soil and I guarantee within 2 days natures clean up crews will get to work. Giving you a good idea of what they will be doing in your pot.

you need to let the fruit compost or rot befoe it can become useful to a plant, try throwing it all in a pile outside for about a year and then youll be money
