What get_event_predictions does on Tba

AI agents call get_event_predictions 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.

Why get_event_predictions needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves pre-computed predictions from The Blue Alliance API without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents no security risk beyond potential information disclosure of non-sensitive event predictions.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Retrieve' predictions; returns data only ('predicted red/blue scores', 'predicted final ranks') with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
