Why get_match needs a policy

This tool purely retrieves and queries historical match data from the Statbotics database. It performs no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The returned information (scores, team lists, predictions) is read-only. Misuse by an AI agent (e.g., requesting match data repeatedly) poses negligible risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Look[s] up a single FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) match' and 'Returns full match detail' including scores, probabilities, and outcomes. Verbs indicate retrieval only: 'look up', 'returns'.

Questions about get_match

What does the get_match tool do? +

Look up a single FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) match by its match key. Returns full match detail: red and blue alliance team lists, final scores by alliance and component (auto, teleop, endgame, fouls), ranking points awarded, win/tie outcome, the Statbotics pre-match win probability and predicted score, and elimination flag. Match keys follow the format <event-key>_<match-code>, e.g. "2024flor_qm20" (qualification match 20), "2024flor_sf2m1" (semifinal 2 match 1), "2024flor_f1m3" (finals match 3). Use this to answer "who won 2024flor_qm20?", "what was the predicted vs actual score?", or to get alliance compositions for a known match. For browsing many matches, use get_matches. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Statbotics MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does get_match accept? +

What risk level is get_match? +

Can I rate-limit get_match? +

How do I block get_match completely? +

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