MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous OpenGolfAPI MCP Server tools

Execute · High finalize_competition This tool executes a computational kernel over competition data and stores the result, triggering an external operation with persistent side effects. Execute · Medium request_sign_in_code Start Write · High sign_in_with_opengolf This is a Write action—it creates new player accounts or modifies existing authentication bindings. Write · Medium complete_sign_in Completing a sign-in process is a Write operation because it creates or modifies session/authentication state.

20 of OpenGolfAPI MCP Server's 42 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control OpenGolfAPI MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OpenGolfAPI MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "complete_sign_in": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "complete_sign_in_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "about": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "about_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
