What weather_global does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call weather_global to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
tz | string | — | IANA zone used to group days and format local times (default UTC) |
lat | number | Yes | Latitude, decimal degrees (-90..90) |
lon | number | Yes | Longitude, decimal degrees (-180..180) |
days | integer | — | Daily summaries 1-9 (default 3) |
units | string | — | metric (default) or imperial |
hourly | boolean | — | Include the hourly series for the requested days (default false) |
altitude | integer | — | Optional ground altitude in metres (improves temperature in mountains) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why weather_global is rated Low
Even though weather_global 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 weather_global safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For weather_global, this is the rule to start with:
weather_global 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 ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every weather_global call is checked against it from then on.

Same tool over HTTPS: GET https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/weather-global. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
weather_global accepts 7 parameters: tz, lat, lon, days, units, hourly, altitude. Required: lat, lon. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for weather_global: 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 ScorpTech x402 API. Nothing to install.
weather_global 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 weather_global 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 weather_global. 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.
weather_global is provided by the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server (https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
