Why get_events needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries FRC event data with optional filters but performs no side effects. It is purely informational—users can browse event schedules, filter by various criteria, and paginate results. There is no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. This clearly falls under the 'Read' category as a safe data retrieval tool.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it is a 'discovery tool for finding event keys and browsing the season schedule' that 'returns an array of events' with filtering and pagination capabilities.

Questions about get_events

What does the get_events tool do? +

List FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) events with optional filters - the discovery tool for finding event keys and browsing the season schedule. Returns an array of events with name, key, dates, location, week, type, EPA stats, and predictions. Filter by year (4-digit, >=2002), country, state, district, type (regional, district, district_cmp, champs_div, einstein, offseason), and week (0-8 of the season; 8 = championship). Sort with metric/ascending and paginate with limit/offset. Use this to answer "what regionals were in California in 2024?", "list all week 1 events this year", or "find the FRC championship divisions" (year=YEAR, type="champs_div"). If you need a single event you already know, use get_event. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Statbotics MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does get_events accept? +

get_events accepts 10 parameters: type, week, year, limit, state, metric, offset, country, district, ascending. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on get_events? +

Register the Statbotics MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_events: 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_events? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_events? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_events 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_events completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_events. 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_events? +

get_events 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.
