What weather_climate_intel does on Gapup Mcp
AI agents call weather_climate_intel to retrieve information from Gapup Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
mode | string | Yes | 'forecast' (14 days), 'historical' (date range since 1940), 'climate_risk' (long-term physical risk score) |
async | boolean | — | If true, returns a job_id immediately (<200ms) instead of waiting for the result. Poll the result with job_result(job_id). Use for slow tools to avoid client ti |
date_to | string | — | ISO date YYYY-MM-DD — end of date range (required for historical/climate_risk) |
metrics | array | — | Weather metrics to include. Default: all metrics. |
location | object | Yes | Geographic location. Provide either {city, country?} or {lat, lon}. |
date_from | string | — | ISO date YYYY-MM-DD — start of date range (required for historical/climate_risk) |

Why weather_climate_intel is rated Low
The tool retrieves and queries weather, historical climate data, and risk scores. All three modes are purely read/query operations with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or financial transactions. Misuse potential is low as it only surfaces informational data.
From the tool's definition forecast — 14-day daily weather forecast; historical — daily records and monthly aggregates; climate_risk — long-term physical risk scoring combining CMIP6 ensemble projections

The rule that runs weather_climate_intel safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gapup Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For weather_climate_intel, this is the rule to start with:
weather_climate_intel 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 Gapup Mcp, apply this rule, and every weather_climate_intel call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about weather_climate_intel
Physical climate intelligence for insurance underwriting, agritech, logistics, energy trading and ESG/climate risk disclosure. Three modes: (1) forecast — 14-day daily weather forecast with temperature, precipitation, wind and humidity; (2) historical — daily records and monthly aggregates for any date range since 1940, with anomaly detection (P90/P95 heat events, extreme precipitation days); (3) climate_risk — long-term physical risk scoring combining CMIP6 ensemble projections (2020-2050), altitude, FEMA flood zones (US) and historical baselines. Risk dimensions: flood, heat (days >35°C/year), drought (SPI), wildfire, sea-level. Overall score 0-100 (100 = severe). Location: city string or lat/lon coordinates. Sources: Open-Meteo (keyless, global, 1940→2050), Open-Elevation, FEMA NFHL (US), NOAA CDO (optional NOAA_API_KEY env var for US+global station data). SLA: ≤25s p95. Cache: 1h forecast / 24h historical / 7d climate_risk. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gapup Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
weather_climate_intel accepts 6 parameters: mode, async, date_to, metrics, location, date_from. Required: mode, location. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Gapup MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for weather_climate_intel: 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 Gapup Mcp. Nothing to install.
weather_climate_intel 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 weather_climate_intel 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 weather_climate_intel. 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.
weather_climate_intel is provided by the Gapup MCP server (https://mcp.gapup.io/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
