data360_get_data

Fetch observations for one Data360 series. DATABASE_ID selects the source database (e.g. WB_WDI), INDICATOR is the code from data360_search_indicators (e.g. WB_WDI_SP_POP_TOTL), REF_AREA is an ISO3 country code (e.g. BRA, USA). Returns SDMX-style records with OBS_VALUE, TIME_PERIOD, UNIT_MEASURE ...

Part of the Data360 server.

data360_get_data 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 data360_get_data to retrieve information from Data360 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 data360_get_data 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 data360_get_data only ever does what you allow.

What does the data360_get_data tool do? +

Fetch observations for one Data360 series. DATABASE_ID selects the source database (e.g. WB_WDI), INDICATOR is the code from data360_search_indicators (e.g. WB_WDI_SP_POP_TOTL), REF_AREA is an ISO3 country code (e.g. BRA, USA). Returns SDMX-style records with OBS_VALUE, TIME_PERIOD, UNIT_MEASURE and disaggregation attributes (SEX, AGE, etc.). Omit TIME_PERIOD for the full series.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Data360 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on data360_get_data? +

Register the Data360 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for data360_get_data: 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 Data360. Nothing to install.

What risk level is data360_get_data? +

data360_get_data is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit data360_get_data? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the data360_get_data 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 data360_get_data completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for data360_get_data. 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 data360_get_data? +

data360_get_data is provided by the Data360 MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data360/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Data360 tool call.
