Search football data provider documentation. Use for finding event types, qualifier IDs, API endpoints, coordinate systems, data models, and cross-provider mappings. Returns the most relevant documentation chunks.
AI agents call search_docs to retrieve information from Football Docs 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 existing documentation without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or moving financial resources. It is a pure information retrieval mechanism designed to help AI agents look up reference data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent cannot harm systems or data by searching documentation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] football data provider documentation' and 'Returns the most relevant documentation chunks.' The name 'search_docs' and operations (finding event types, qualifier IDs, API endpoints, coordinate systems) are all read-only…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_docs gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Football Docs, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_docs:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"search_docs": {}
}
}search_docs is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Search football data provider documentation. Use for finding event types, qualifier IDs, API endpoints, coordinate systems, data models, and cross-provider mappings. Returns the most relevant documentation chunks. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Football Docs MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Football Docs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_docs: 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 Football Docs. Nothing to install.
search_docs 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 search_docs 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 search_docs. 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.
search_docs is provided by the Football Docs MCP server (withqwerty/football-docs). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Football Docs, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
