What slow-weather does on Frontmcp

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

Why slow-weather is rated Low

This is a read-only operation that queries and returns weather information with simulated delay. It has no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius of misuse is negligible; an AI agent calling this repeatedly would waste compute resources but cause no meaningful harm. Severity is low because it is a benign mock tool for demonstration or testing purposes.

From the tool's definition Tool is described as a 'weather lookup', which retrieves data. The prefix 'Pretend-slow' indicates it is a mock/test tool that simulates latency. No language in the description suggests data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations.

Register the Front MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for slow-weather: 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 Frontmcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is slow-weather? +

slow-weather is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit slow-weather? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the slow-weather 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.

How do I block slow-weather completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for slow-weather. 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.
