What space.sky-tonight does on Mcp

AI agents call space.sky-tonight 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.

Why space.sky-tonight needs a policy

This tool purely computes and returns astronomical data (sky positions, rise/set times, moon phase, planet data) for a given location and time. It is entirely read/query in nature with no side effects. The only note is that it is pay-per-call (USDC), but the tool itself does not move money — the payment is handled by the x402 infrastructure of the server, not the tool's action.

How do I enforce a policy on space.sky-tonight? +

Register the MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for space.sky-tonight: 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 Mcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is space.sky-tonight? +

space.sky-tonight is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit space.sky-tonight? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the space.sky-tonight 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 space.sky-tonight completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for space.sky-tonight. 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.

What MCP server provides space.sky-tonight? +

space.sky-tonight 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.
