WHAT IT DOES

What lookup_nasa_apod does on GoCreative Agent API

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

RISK

Why lookup_nasa_apod is rated Low

The tool queries and returns public astronomical imagery and metadata. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, execute code, delete resources, or commit financial obligations. The per-call cost is a payment model for API access, not a financial transaction executed by the tool. This is a straightforward data retrieval utility suitable for educational and content generation agents.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day with image, title, and explanation—classic read-only data retrieval. No mutation, deletion, execution, or financial transaction capability described.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs lookup_nasa_apod safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GoCreative Agent API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For lookup_nasa_apod, this is the rule to start with:

lookup_nasa_apod Allowed

lookup_nasa_apod is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "lookup_nasa_apod": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GoCreative Agent API, apply this rule, and every lookup_nasa_apod call is checked against it from then on.
