getTime

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why getTime needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries time entry data without any side effects. It does not modify, create, delete, or execute operations. The capability is limited to returning existing data, making it a straightforward Read operation with low severity risk even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get all time entries' and 'Return all logged time entries' - purely retrieval operations with no modification, creation, or deletion.

POLICY

How to control getTime

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Teamwork MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for getTime:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getTime": {}
  }
}

getTime is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Teamwork MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Can I rate-limit getTime? +
