find_station is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call find_station to retrieve information from Epwforge Mcp without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though find_station only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so find_station only ever does what you allow.

What does the find_station tool do? +

Search the GuzzStations catalog (17,000+ weather stations worldwide, self-hosted mirror of OneBuilding TMYx). Returns matching stations with EPW URLs ready to pass to analyze_weather or chart_weather. Optionally enriches with AMY extreme years (hottest / coldest / most-humid on record) and CMIP6 climate deltas. No auth required.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Epwforge Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on find_station? +

Register the Epwforge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_station: 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 Epwforge Mcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is find_station? +

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

Can I rate-limit find_station? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the find_station 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 find_station completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for find_station. 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 find_station? +

find_station is provided by the Epwforge MCP server (pypi:epwforge-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Epwforge Mcp tool call.
