What gribstream_resolve_shared_parameter does on GribStream MCP
AI agents call gribstream_resolve_shared_parameter to retrieve information from GribStream MCP 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
alias | string | — | Optional output alias for the resolved request. |
dataset | string | — | Optional dataset code to resolve the shared parameter against. |
parameter | string | Yes | Shared parameter code, for example temperature_2m, wind_speed_10m, mean_sea_level_pressure, or wind_speed_500hpa. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why gribstream_resolve_shared_parameter is rated Low
The tool purely resolves and returns metadata about a shared parameter preset (variables and expressions). It performs no writes, executions, or data retrieval of actual weather values. Explicitly described as read-only with no side effects.
From the tool's definition NO AUTH / PUBLIC / READ-ONLY. Resolves one shared parameter preset for a dataset, returning native variables and expressions... This tool does not execute the request, query weather values, or return forecast data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs gribstream_resolve_shared_parameter safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GribStream MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gribstream_resolve_shared_parameter, this is the rule to start with:
gribstream_resolve_shared_parameter 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 GribStream MCP, apply this rule, and every gribstream_resolve_shared_parameter call is checked against it from then on.
