# bounding_box A read tool on the CLIO Adios MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `bounding_box`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/bounding-box ## Facts - Tool: `bounding_box` - Server: CLIO Adios (`pypi:clio-kit`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:clio-kit` - Homepage: https://github.com/iowarp/clio-kit - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "bounding_box", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why bounding_box is rated Low Bounding box operations typically retrieve or filter data within spatial bounds without modifying underlying data. The empty description reduces confidence, but the server's stated purpose (fetch and analyze) and sibling tool patterns (all appear to be analysis/read operations) suggest this is a read operation. No evidence of data modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'bounding_box' with empty description suggests spatial data querying or filtering. Context includes 'Fetch and analyze BP5 data files' and sibling tools like 'analyze_file_access_patterns' and 'analyze_posix_operations', indicating read-only data…" ## Use case AI agents call bounding_box to retrieve information from CLIO Adios without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CLIO Adios: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "bounding_box": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on CLIO Adios (203) - `cancel_slurm_job` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/cancel-slurm-job.md - `destroy_pipeline` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/destroy-pipeline.md - `jm_remove_repo` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-remove-repo.md - `jm_reset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-reset.md - `remove_pkg` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/remove-pkg.md - `slurm_cancel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/slurm-cancel.md - `allocate_slurm_nodes` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/allocate-slurm-nodes.md - `build_pipeline_env` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/build-pipeline-env.md - `generate_isosurface` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/generate-isosurface.md - `heatmap_plot` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/heatmap-plot.md - `hypothesis_testing` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/hypothesis-testing.md - `jarvis_run` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jarvis-run.md - `jm_cd` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-cd.md - `jm_graph_build` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/jm-graph-build.md - `module_load` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/module-load.md - `module_swap` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/module-swap.md - `module_unload` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/module-unload.md - `parallel_sort_large_file` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/parallel-sort-large-file.md - `reset_camera` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/reset-camera.md - `rotate_camera` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/rotate-camera.md - `run_pipeline` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/run-pipeline.md - `show_screenshot_preview` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/show-screenshot-preview.md - `stop_chronolog` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/stop-chronolog.md - `submit_array_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/submit-array-job.md - `submit_slurm_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/submit-slurm-job.md - `warp_by_vector` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/warp-by-vector.md - `aggregate_column_tool` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/aggregate-column-tool.md - `analyze_file_access_patterns` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/analyze-file-access-patterns.md - `analyze_log_statistics` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/analyze-log-statistics.md - `analyze_mpiio_operations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp/analyze-mpiio-operations.md - …and 173 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-iowarp-adios-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
