Get available filters, hackathon chronology, and canonical slugs. Use to discover valid filter values before searching.
AI agents call colosseum_get_filters to retrieve information from Colosseum Copilot without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool is a metadata discovery endpoint that returns configuration and reference data (filters, dates, identifiers) to enable informed use of other tools. It performs no writes, deletions, or external operations. The low severity reflects the non-sensitive nature of filter metadata and canonical identifiers in a public research context.
From the tool's definition Tool provides discovery of 'available filters, hackathon chronology, and canonical slugs' — pure data retrieval with no modification, execution, or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get available filters, hackathon chronology, and canonical slugs. Use to discover valid filter values before searching. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Colosseum Copilot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Colosseum Copilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for colosseum_get_filters: 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 Colosseum Copilot. Nothing to install.
colosseum_get_filters 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 colosseum_get_filters 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 colosseum_get_filters. 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.
colosseum_get_filters is provided by the Colosseum Copilot MCP server (securecheckio/colosseum-copilot-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
