AI agents call get_team 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 queries and returns public information about an FRC team. There are no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions involved. It is a simple read-only data retrieval operation, consistent with public sports competition data APIs. Severity is low because misuse would only result in data exfiltration of publicly available information.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_team' and description states 'Retrieve the full profile of a single FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team' — this is a straightforward data retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieve the full profile of a single FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team identified by team key (e.g.,. 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_team: 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_team 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_team 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_team. 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_team 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.
