Also, it's pretty hard to find Teah's mortal forms, and takes lucky guesswork to even know he has one unless he notices and says something. For sure, if he showed up anywhere that wasn't already under close Foundation surveillance, there would be at least a full night's sleep worth of prayers granted before they even had enough information to suspect the wish-god of being a dreaming human - and for sure he'd give priority to neutralizing dangerous SCPs and generally reducing the amount of horror going on in the world. I just don't see them looking at the aftermath of six hours of Teah and going, "It must be stopped," instead of "Where can I get five?"
I think the problem is not what Teah is, but what the SCP would think he could be.
These people didn't survive dealing with all kind of creepypasta horrors without being super-paranoid.

It's hard to say though because while a lot of the time the foundation seem to completely disregard beneficial applications of SCPs the one case they usually don't is when they can use them to get rid of other SCPs (they have an extreme case of tunnel vision). I could see the foundation possibly cooperating with Teah if he neutralised a lot of SCPs before they discovered who he was but if nobody prayed about SCPs and Teah had just been improving the world in others ways I could see them trying to kill his mortal form in the hopes of destroying his godly presence (unless they already knew that wouldn't work).
I can't imagine that a decent chunk of Teah-time could pass without anybody making SCP-related prayers.
Of course, if they kill his mortal form, the likeliest outcome is a pause of unknown duration followed by nine straight months of Teah, since if he alights in another mortal form shortly after conception, gestation time counts as sleep for his purposes. And in nine straight months of Teah there would certainly be enough SCP-related prayers for him to pretty much shut down all of the Keter-class anomalies that are legit bad. Especially after people caught on. The first prayer he grabbed with a wide enough scope, and he'd happily go to town.
The SCP personnel by and large don't really seem like praying types to me. Maybe in the event of an SCP trying to kill them but I don't see them idly doing it. Some of the SCPs are sentient and could try praying themselves I guess (now that I think of it Teah answering the prayers of the non-evil SCPs would be awesome) and there's the D-class personnel. Hmm, I guess at the very least they probably would have to track him down fast for him to not have started dealing with dangerous SCPs.

Also, Teah playing Malicious Genie with the evil SCP's wishes. 682 wishes to be out of there, you know Teah would be on it - find him a nice little uninhabited gas giant with an acidic atmosphere, maybe.
I do not think the foundation would be too thrilled with Teah if he released a bunch of sentient and fairly harmless SCPs that were wishing to be outside.
I think some of the personnel might pray or make wishes when they aren't interacting with SCPs that might do something malevolent with prayers or wishes.

That would be hilarious.

Yeah the foundation would freak if Teah released a bunch of harmless SCPs or even worse if he depowered and released a dangerous SCP without thinking to inform them that it was depowered (and even if he did they probably wouldn't believe him).
I guess the reason I don't see them praying is that SCP personnel seem very do it yourself types, not the kind of people to want help from anyone outside the foundation (even in terms of wishing/praying but not expecting anyone to answer).
Ade is correct about Teah playing Malicious Genie with evil SCPs. :D He isn't even limited to technically fulfilling received prayers - he just has to do something that he deems a relevant and appropriate response.
Also, 231 would probably be mercy-killed - possibly mercy-killed and her consciousness transported to a cozy pocket-dimensional heaven with the other 231s, but definitely mercy-killed with her apocalyptic pregnancy thoroughly abolished, so the containment personnel wouldn't lose their shit about her vanishing out from under their noses and would be able to verify that nothing horrible was emerging from her remains. And he will leave some kind of standard communication at all his SCP-related interventions, or at least all the ones he wants to take credit for, that one probably being first among them.
Harmless SCPs who want to be out - yeah, he'd probably let them loose. But he might figure out a way to do it while minimizing the resulting Foundation stress levels.

Yes, but it's funnier if he does technically fulfill them, at least most of the time. ^^
