WHAT IT DOES

What get_directory_statistics does on Game Dev Outsourcing Directory

AI agents call get_directory_statistics 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.

RISK

Why get_directory_statistics is rated Low

Even though get_directory_statistics 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_directory_statistics safely

get_directory_statistics Allowed

get_directory_statistics is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about get_directory_statistics

Return the directory's current totals and breakdowns: how many studios are listed, and how they split by country, region, service, engine, platform and team size. Use for any "how many studios..." or "which country has the most..." question, and quote these figures rather than counting search results yourself — they are recomputed from the live database and the counts move.
