AI agents call get_gap_to_leader to retrieve information from F1 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and queries historical race telemetry/timing data. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The severity is low because the data is informational analytics about past race events with no blast radius to system integrity or external systems.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get a driver's time gap to the race leader on every lap' — this is a retrieval operation that queries existing race data with no side effects or modifications.

Get a driver's time gap to the race leader on every lap. It is categorised as a Read tool in the F1 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the F1 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_gap_to_leader: 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 F1. Nothing to install.
get_gap_to_leader 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_gap_to_leader 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_gap_to_leader. 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_gap_to_leader is provided by the F1 MCP server (luffy610/f1-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
