Retrieve the list of teams in the league with their IDs and abbreviations.
AI agents call get_teams 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 and queries static league data (team IDs and abbreviations). It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions. The operation is read-only with minimal blast radius if misused by an agent—worst case, an agent wastes API calls retrieving team metadata. No security or data integrity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_teams' and description 'Retrieve the list of teams in the league with their IDs and abbreviations' indicate a simple data retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve the list of teams in the league with their IDs and abbreviations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the StatsPlus MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the StatsPlus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_teams: 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.
get_teams 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_teams 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_teams. 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_teams is provided by the StatsPlus MCP Server MCP server (joshuarichard/statsplus-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
