Get activity metrics for a politician broken down by period (30d, 90d, 1y, all-time).
AI agents call get_politician_activity to retrieve information from Signal8 MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries publicly available or aggregated data about politician activity metrics. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code or external operations, and does not involve financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve activity metrics that are already intended to be accessible through this API.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval of activity metrics for politicians broken down by time periods (30d, 90d, 1y, all-time). No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations is implied.

Register the Signal8 MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_politician_activity: 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 Signal8 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_politician_activity 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_politician_activity 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_politician_activity. 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.
get_politician_activity is provided by the Signal8 MCP Server MCP server (signal8ai/signal8-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
