AI agents call gov.disaster-assistance to retrieve information from Mcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a data retrieval tool that queries historical disaster assistance information. It returns factual records about approved/obligated funds without creating obligations, moving money, modifying data, or executing arbitrary code. The tool is read-only in nature—it surfaces existing government data.

FEMA disaster assistance dollars — how much federal aid was approved or obligated for a declared disaster, by place. program=individuals (default) returns Individuals & Households Program (IHP) approved housing assistance, one record per ZIP per disaster, with FEMA-approved repair/replace, rental, and other-needs dollars and valid-registration counts (tenancy=owner default, or renter). program=public returns Public Assistance funded-project summaries, one record per applicant (state/local government, tribe, or eligible nonprofit) per disaster, with the federally obligated grant amount and project count. Filter by disasterNumber (the join key to gov.disaster-declarations), state (2-letter), and zipCode (5-digit, IHP only); ordered by approved/obligated dollars (highest first) with the total matching count + a normalized approvedAmountUSD per record. Free, public-domain (OpenFEMA). Distinct from gov.disaster-declarations (what was declared/authorized), gov.risk-index (modeled risk), gov.nfip-claims (flood-insurance losses) — the realized federal-spend record. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gov.disaster-assistance 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 gov.disaster-assistance. 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.
gov.disaster-assistance is provided by the MCP server (@2sio/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
