RISK

Why f1_sessions is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves Formula 1 session data from an external API (OpenF1). The verb 'Get' and the absence of any language suggesting creation, modification, deletion, or execution of operations confirms this is a read-only data retrieval tool. There are no side effects, no data modifications, and no external action triggers.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'f1_sessions' and description 'Get Formula 1 sessions from OpenF1' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs f1_sessions safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For f1_sessions, this is the rule to start with:

f1_sessions Allowed

f1_sessions is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "f1_sessions": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every f1_sessions call is checked against it from then on.
