THE RISK

Low Risk

Why getEvents needs a policy

This tool retrieves event data for an athlete from the Intervals.icu API without any side effects or modifications. It is a straightforward data query operation that presents minimal risk when invoked by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getEvents' and description 'Get a list of events' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'get' and 'list' operations are characteristic of Read operations.

POLICY

How to control getEvents

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Intervals Icu MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getEvents:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getEvents": {}
  }
}

getEvents is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Intervals Icu MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
