Get details about a specific competition.
AI agents call competition_details to retrieve information from Kaggle-MCP 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 information about a competition without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or moving money. It has no side effects beyond retrieving publicly available competition metadata. Blast radius is minimal—worst case, an agent wastes API quota or learns non-sensitive competition information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'competition_details' and description 'Get details about a specific competition' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution. The verb 'Get' is typical of read-only operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get details about a specific competition. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kaggle-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kaggle- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for competition_details: 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 Kaggle-MCP. Nothing to install.
competition_details 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 competition_details 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 competition_details. 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.
competition_details is provided by the Kaggle- MCP server (realbytecode/kaggle-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
