What get_disaster_risk does on Mcp Server
AI agents call get_disaster_risk to retrieve information from Mcp Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
lat | number | — | Site latitude in decimal degrees (-90 to 90, required), e.g. 33.45 |
lng | number | — | Alias for lon — either name works |
lon | number | — | Site longitude in decimal degrees (-180 to 180, required), e.g. -112.07 |
latitude | number | — | Alias for lat — either name works |
longitude | number | — | Alias for lon — either name works |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get_disaster_risk is rated Low
Even though get_disaster_risk only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_disaster_risk safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_disaster_risk, this is the rule to start with:
get_disaster_risk is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Server, apply this rule, and every get_disaster_risk call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get_disaster_risk
Use when a user wants the natural-hazard / disaster risk for a lat/lon — flood, wildfire, hurricane, earthquake, heat, drought, tornado, etc. Grounded in the FEMA National Risk Index (NRI), the authoritative US county-level hazard dataset (live query, never estimated; points outside US NRI coverage return coverage=unavailable). Example: get_disaster_risk lat=33.45 lon=-112.07. Returns {disaster_risk:{composite_score (0-100, higher=worse), rating (Very Low..Very High), national_percentile}, hazards:{Wildfire, Hurricane, Earthquake, Heat Wave, ...: rating}, top_hazards:[{hazard, rating}], coverage (validated|unavailable), source, caveats}. County-level resolution. For chronic water stress use get_water_risk; for one blended site verdict use get_composite_site_score. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get_disaster_risk accepts 5 parameters: lat, lng, lon, latitude, longitude. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Mcp Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_disaster_risk: 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 Server. Nothing to install.
get_disaster_risk 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_disaster_risk 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_disaster_risk. 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_disaster_risk is provided by the Mcp Server MCP server (https://dchub.cloud/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
