AI agents call get_team_pitching to retrieve information from MLB Stats Server without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though get_team_pitching only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get season-level Pitching Statistics for Specific Team (from Baseball-Reference) ARGUMENTS: team : str : The Team Abbreviation (i.e. 'NYY' for Yankees) of the Team you want data for start_season : int : first season you want data for (or the only season if you do not specify an end_season) end_season : int : final season you want data for. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MLB Stats Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MLB Stats Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_team_pitching: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches MLB Stats Server. Nothing to install.
get_team_pitching is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_team_pitching rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_team_pitching. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_team_pitching is provided by the MLB Stats Server MCP server (etweisberg/mlb-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
