What noaa-ncei-get-temperature does on Meta Data Mcp
AI agents call noaa-ncei-get-temperature to retrieve information from Meta Data Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

This tool retrieves historical temperature measurements from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's public archive. It performs a simple query against open climate data with no capability to modify, delete, or execute arbitrary code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—worst case, an agent makes excessive requests or downloads large datasets, neither of which causes data loss or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'noaa-ncei-get-temperature' and description 'Get daily maximum/minimum temperature (TMAX/TMIN)' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs noaa-ncei-get-temperature safely
