Why compare_drivers needs a policy

This tool retrieves and compares existing Formula One performance data. It performs aggregation and comparison of driver statistics but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any external operations. The worst case misuse is viewing comparative data that is already public, presenting minimal risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'compare_drivers' and description 'Compare performance between multiple Formula One drivers' indicate data retrieval and analysis without modification. All sibling tools are also read-only queries (get_*, analyze_*).

How to control compare_drivers

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "compare_drivers": {}
  }
}

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

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