AI agents call get_lap_time_distribution 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.
This tool queries and retrieves statistical analytics about lap times from historical session data. It performs no write operations, does not execute external code or commands, and does not delete or modify data. The retrieval of race telemetry analytics poses minimal security risk as it only surfaces existing analytical information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_lap_time_distribution' and description 'Get statistical distribution of lap times across the session' indicate data retrieval with 'Get' verb and no mutation or side effects.

get_lap_time_distribution 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_lap_time_distribution 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_lap_time_distribution. 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.
