WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call getEventTypeById to perform operations in Cal.com. While the risk category is not fully classified, applying a rate limit gives you visibility into how often the tool is called and prevents unexpected bursts of activity from autonomous agents.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON GETEVENTTYPEBYID

Applying a policy to getEventTypeById gives you an audit trail of every call an AI agent makes. Even for low-risk tools, visibility into agent behaviour helps you debug issues, optimise workflows, and maintain compliance with your organisation's security requirements.
