WHAT IT DOES

What feature_bbox does on CLIO Adios

AI agents call feature_bbox 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.

RISK

Why feature_bbox is rated Low

Based on the name alone, 'feature_bbox' appears to be a computational analysis tool that extracts or calculates bounding boxes from features in scientific data—a read-only operation with no side effects. The empty description reduces confidence, but the context (ADIOS2 data analysis, sibling tools like 'analyze_*') supports a data-retrieval/analysis classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'feature_bbox' suggests bounding box extraction or calculation, a read-only operation. No description provided to confirm intent.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs feature_bbox safely

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

feature_bbox Allowed

feature_bbox 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": {
    "feature_bbox": {}
  }
}

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

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

How do I enforce a policy on feature_bbox? +

Register the CLIO Adios MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for feature_bbox: 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 CLIO Adios. Nothing to install.

What risk level is feature_bbox? +

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

Can I rate-limit feature_bbox? +

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

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

feature_bbox is provided by the CLIO Adios MCP server (pypi:clio-kit). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
