AI agents call get_phase_stats to retrieve information from Cricket without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only query tool that retrieves performance statistics from a cricket database filtered by match phase. It presents no risk of data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact. The narrow scope (phase-based stats lookup) and passive nature (retrieval only) confirm low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'batting or bowling stats scoped to a match phase' — it queries and returns statistical data without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
How does a player perform in powerplay / middle / death overs? Batting or bowling stats scoped to a match phase: powerplay (1-6), middle (7-15), or death (16-20). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cricket MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cricket MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_phase_stats: 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 Cricket. Nothing to install.
get_phase_stats 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_phase_stats 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_phase_stats. 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_phase_stats is provided by the Cricket MCP server (mavaali/cricket-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
