Get event results for a year (or current year if omitted).
AI agents call ctftime_results to retrieve information from Mcp Ctftime without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves historical or current CTF competition results from the public CTFtime.org API. It performs no side effects, does not modify any data, and does not trigger external operations. The query-based nature (retrieving event results) clearly fits the Read category, which carries minimal security risk as it only accesses publicly available information.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get event results for a year' - a retrieval operation with no modification, creation, or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get event results for a year (or current year if omitted). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Ctftime MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Ctftime MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ctftime_results: 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 Mcp Ctftime. Nothing to install.
ctftime_results 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 ctftime_results 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 ctftime_results. 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.
ctftime_results is provided by the Mcp Ctftime MCP server (tomek7667/mcp-ctftime). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
