Search for players by name (partial, case-insensitive). Returns matching players with their IDs and team info. Use this to resolve a player name to an ID without downloading the full roster.
AI agents call find_player to retrieve information from StatsPlus MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves data (player search results) without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple lookup utility that resolves player names to IDs, typical of Read category tools. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused — an agent could only retrieve unwanted player information, not alter or harm systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_player' and description states it 'Search for players by name' and 'Returns matching players with their IDs and team info' — a query operation with no side effects.

Register the StatsPlus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_player: 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 StatsPlus MCP Server. Nothing to install.
find_player 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 find_player 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 find_player. 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.
