Get summary statistics about the bid database.
AI agents call get_bid_stats to retrieve information from GeM MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns summary statistics from a database. It performs no side effects, makes no modifications, and triggers no external operations. It is a pure read operation, consistent with other read tools on the server like 'get_bid_detail', 'get_latest_bids', and 'search_bids'.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_bid_stats' and description 'Get summary statistics about the bid database' indicate a query operation that retrieves aggregate data without modification, deletion, or execution.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_bid_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_bid_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.
