# get_city_resource

Fetch ANY per-city data type by its key (generic accessor, 81 data types). One tool for the whole breadth of InfraNode: live data (air, traffic, transit stops, parking, charging, water-level, flood, sharing, fuel-prices, webcams, station-departures/-arrivals/stations, ...), statistics (demographics, unemployment, tourism, accidents, crime-stats, indicators, land-values, tax-rates, insolvencies, ...), multi-year TIME SERIES (sustainability: SDG indicators per municipality, one value per year from 2006 to 2023, so trends can be answered without stitching snapshots), infrastructure and environment (solar, solar-roofs, district-heating, energy, heritage, tree-cadastre, playgrounds, public-toilets, markets, education, ...) and more. Discover the valid keys and per-city coverage with get_city_overview(slug) or the infranode://catalog resource; the resource enum lists every key. Uncovered types return source_status="not_covered" (plus where they ARE available), never an error. Read-only.

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_city_resource",

## Why get_city_resource is rated Low

Generic accessor retrieving public municipal data without modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

From the tool's own definition: "Fetch ANY per-city data, read-only MCP tools, open data"

## Use case

AI agents call get_city_resource to retrieve information from InfraNode without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches InfraNode:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_city_resource": {}
  }
}
```
