Why get_event needs a policy

This tool performs read-only queries against a public FRC event database, returning historical event information, statistics, and predictions. It has no capability to modify data, execute code, or cause side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve information about public robotics competitions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it retrieves data: 'Look up a single FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) event', 'Returns metadata', 'aggregate EPA stats', 'Statbotics predictions'. No modification or deletion verbs present. No execution of external code or commands.

Questions about get_event

What does the get_event tool do? +

Look up a single FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) event by its event key. Returns metadata (event name, year, week, type, location, dates, district), aggregate EPA stats for participating teams, qualification and playoff status, and Statbotics predictions for the event (e.g. winner probabilities). Event keys follow the format <year><event-code>, e.g. "2024flor" (FLOR = Orlando regional 2024), "2024necmp" (New England district championship 2024), "2024cmptx" (Houston champs 2024). Use this to answer "what happened at 2024flor?", "show predictions for 2024cmptx", or to get context (week, type, location) for an event you have the key for. For browsing events by season, district, or week, use get_events. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Statbotics MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does get_event accept? +

get_event accepts 1 parameter: event. Required: event. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on get_event? +

Register the Statbotics MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_event: 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 Statbotics. Nothing to install.

What risk level is get_event? +

get_event is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_event? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_event 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.

How do I block get_event completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_event. 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.

What MCP server provides get_event? +

get_event is provided by the Statbotics MCP server (@withinfocus/statbotics-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
