What LP_Get_Terrain_3D does on Geospatial System — Location Profile
AI agents call LP_Get_Terrain_3D to retrieve information from Geospatial System — Location Profile 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
fmt | string | — | Output format — 'png', or 'html'. |
lat | number | Yes | Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS-84). |
lon | number | Yes | Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS-84). |
offset | integer | — | Half-window pixels (default 20). |
azim_angle | number | — | Camera azimuth angle in degrees (default 135). |
dataset_id | string | Yes | Dataset identifier. |
elev_angle | number | — | Camera elevation angle in degrees (default 45). |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why LP_Get_Terrain_3D is rated Low
This tool queries elevation and terrain data to produce a visual representation (3-D map). It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations on underlying data. The output is a read-only visualization artifact. Requires Pro key for access control but does not perform any destructive, executable, or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and generates visualization data: 'Generate a 3-D perspective terrain surface map' with 'elevation' coloring and location marking. No modification, deletion, code execution, or financial transaction.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs LP_Get_Terrain_3D safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Geospatial System — Location Profile, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For LP_Get_Terrain_3D, this is the rule to start with:
LP_Get_Terrain_3D 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 Geospatial System — Location Profile, apply this rule, and every LP_Get_Terrain_3D call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about LP_Get_Terrain_3D
Generate a 3-D perspective terrain surface map (Plotly go.Surface) coloured by elevation with a red spike pin marking the query location. Requires Pro key. Supports PNG / HTML. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Geospatial System — Location Profile MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
LP_Get_Terrain_3D accepts 7 parameters: fmt, lat, lon, offset, azim_angle, dataset_id, elev_angle. Required: lat, lon, dataset_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Geospatial System — Location Profile MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for LP_Get_Terrain_3D: 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 Geospatial System — Location Profile. Nothing to install.
LP_Get_Terrain_3D 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 LP_Get_Terrain_3D 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 LP_Get_Terrain_3D. 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.
LP_Get_Terrain_3D is provided by the Geospatial System — Location Profile MCP server (https://api.geospatialsystem.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
