AI agents call get_events_simple 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 publicly available FRC event information without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or triggering external operations. The reduced field set is a performance optimization for read-only data retrieval. Misuse would have minimal impact—an agent could retrieve event data but cannot alter competition records or trigger financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_events_simple' and description states 'List every FRC event for a season year with reduced event fields.' The verb 'List' and context of querying FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) event data indicates data retrieval with no modification or…

List every FRC event for a season year with reduced event fields. Lighter than get_events. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tba MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tba MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_events_simple: 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 Tba. Nothing to install.
get_events_simple is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_events_simple 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_events_simple. 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.
get_events_simple is provided by the Tba MCP server (@withinfocus/tba-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
