AI agents call get_district_teams to retrieve information from Tba 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 team profile data from The Blue Alliance (FRC database) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could enumerate teams in a district but cannot alter data or trigger external actions. This is a straightforward read-only query operation.
