Find events within a specific date range
AI agents call get_events_by_date_range to retrieve information from OSU 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 retrieves event data filtered by date range. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete records, or involve financial transactions. It is a standard read-only data retrieval operation consistent with other 'get_' tools on the server (get_academic_calendar, get_athletics_all, etc.).
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_' prefix and description states 'Find events' — both indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification.

Register the OSU MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_events_by_date_range: 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 OSU MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_events_by_date_range 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_events_by_date_range 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.
