marine 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 marine to retrieve information from Open Meteo 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 marine 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access marine gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so marine only ever does what you allow.

What does the marine tool do? +

"Wave / swell / surf forecast for [beach]" / "sea conditions in [bay]" / "wave height at [coordinates]" / "is it safe to sail" — global marine weather forecast (wave height, wave period, wave direction, wind waves, swell waves) at any ocean lat/lng. Free, keyless. Use for surf reports, sailing prep, fishing conditions, coastal planning.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Open Meteo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on marine? +

Register the Open Meteo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for marine: 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 Open Meteo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is marine? +

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

Can I rate-limit marine? +

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

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

marine is provided by the Open Meteo MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/open-meteo/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Open Meteo tool call.
