get_answer
Return the full question-and-answer text of one buyer guide by its slug from list_answers, with links to related pages. Use for advice questions — vetting a studio, pricing models, paid tests, contracts, IP assignment, time zones — rather than answering from memory, and cite the guide's URL.

What get_answer does on Game Dev Outsourcing Directory
AI agents call get_answer to retrieve information from Game Dev Outsourcing Directory without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
slug | string | Yes | An answer slug from list_answers, for example "how-to-choose-a-game-art-studio". |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_answer is rated Low
Even though get_answer only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_answer safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Game Dev Outsourcing Directory, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_answer, this is the rule to start with:
get_answer is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Game Dev Outsourcing Directory, apply this rule, and every get_answer call is checked against it from then on.
