Paginated listing of every registered FRC team with reduced fields (key, team_number, nickname, name, city, state_prov, country). Lighter than get_teams; use when website, motto, address, and geocoded location are not needed.
AI agents call get_teams_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 team registration information without any side effects, data modification, or external operations. It is a straightforward read-only data access operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could only enumerate team information.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it returns a 'paginated listing' of FRC team data with read-only fields (key, team_number, nickname, name, city, state_prov, country). The name 'get_teams_simple' and verb 'listing' confirm retrieval without modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Paginated listing of every registered FRC team with reduced fields (key, team_number, nickname, name, city, state_prov, country). Lighter than get_teams; use when website, motto, address, and geocoded location are not needed. 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_teams_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_teams_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_teams_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_teams_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_teams_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.
