What share_location does on AirMCP
AI agents call share_location to retrieve information from AirMCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why share_location is rated Low
This tool generates a shareable link for a location — it reads/produces a URL pointing to Apple Maps. There are no side effects such as modifying data, executing commands, or sending messages. The output is a link, not an action that transmits location data to others.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs share_location safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AirMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For share_location, this is the rule to start with:
share_location 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 AirMCP, apply this rule, and every share_location call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about share_location
Generate a shareable Apple Maps link for a location. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AirMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Air MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for share_location: 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 AirMCP. Nothing to install.
share_location 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 share_location 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 share_location. 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.
share_location is provided by the Air MCP server (airmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
