Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why country_by_ip is rated Low

This is a straightforward data retrieval tool that queries a geolocation service (country.is) to determine the country associated with an IP address. It has no side effects, makes no modifications, executes no code, and poses minimal risk if misused—the worst outcome would be providing an AI agent with geolocation metadata for an IP, which is informational only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'country_by_ip' and description 'Detect country from an IP address' indicate a lookup/query operation that retrieves geolocation data without modifying or executing anything.
