list_teams
AI agents call list_teams to retrieve information from Polymarket without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves team information (implied by 'list_teams') without modifying or executing any operations. It fits the Read category as a data retrieval function with no side effects. The read-only nature of the entire Polymarket MCP server and the naming convention of sibling tools strongly indicate this is a simple query operation.
From the tool's definition Server explicitly described as 'read-only interface' with sibling tools all performing read operations (get_activity, get_book, get_books, get_positions, etc.). Tool name 'list_teams' follows the read-only pattern.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
list_teams. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Polymarket MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Polymarket MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_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 Polymarket. Nothing to install.
list_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 list_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 list_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.
list_teams is provided by the Polymarket MCP server (pr1m8/polymarket-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
