Get the start list for a specific edition of a cycling race.
AI agents call get_start_list to retrieve information from FirstCycling MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves publicly available cycling race information (the start list for a race edition). It is a read-only query operation with no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no financial impact. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused—returning race participant data poses no significant harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_start_list' and description 'Get the start list for a specific edition of a cycling race' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing cycling race data with no modification, deletion, or execution of code.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_start_list gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and FirstCycling MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_start_list:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_start_list": {}
}
}get_start_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the start list for a specific edition of a cycling race. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FirstCycling MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FirstCycling MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_start_list: 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 FirstCycling MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_start_list 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_start_list 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_start_list. 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_start_list is provided by the FirstCycling MCP Server MCP server (r-huijts/firstcycling-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from FirstCycling MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
