WHAT IT DOES

What Get_ZIP_Code_details does on API Ninjas

AI agents call Get_ZIP_Code_details to retrieve information from API Ninjas 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
`zip`	string	—	The ZIP Code to look up.
`city`	string	—	Full name of the city to search (case-sensitive). Premium subscribers only.
`state`	string	—	2-letter abbreviation of the state (case-insensitive). Premium subscribers only.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why Get_ZIP_Code_details is rated Low

Even though Get_ZIP_Code_details 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.
