WHAT IT DOES

What search_location does on Iconnect

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

RISK

Why search_location is rated Low

This tool retrieves location data from Apple Maps in response to a search query. It is a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any side effects. The worst plausible misuse would be mapping a user's search history, a low-severity information disclosure concern.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_location' and description 'Search for a place or location in Apple Maps' indicate a query operation with no data modification or external action execution.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_location safely

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

search_location Allowed

search_location 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": {
    "search_location": {}
  }
}

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

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