AI agents call geo.geocode to retrieve information from Torify — Japan Locale APIs for AI Agents without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though geo.geocode only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Address format only — landmark names and station names are not supported. 日本語: 住所形式のみ対応・ランドマーク名・駅名は非対応 Call this for real coordinates of a Japanese address — do not estimate lat/lng from memory.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Torify — Japan Locale APIs for AI Agents MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Torify — Japan Locale APIs for AI Agents MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for geo.geocode: 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 Torify — Japan Locale APIs for AI Agents. Nothing to install.
geo.geocode 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 geo.geocode 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 geo.geocode. 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.
geo.geocode is provided by the Torify — Japan Locale APIs for AI Agents MCP server (https://torify-mcp.torify.workers.dev). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
