WHAT IT DOES

What aviationweather.reference.stations does on Apibase

AI agents call aviationweather.reference.stations to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`ids`	string	—	Comma-separated ICAO station identifiers to look up (e.g. "KJFK,KLAX"). Use this OR bbox OR state — not together.
`bbox`	string	—	Bounding box in decimal degrees: "minLat,minLon,maxLat,maxLon" (e.g. "25,-125,50,-65" for the contiguous US). Returns all aviation weather stations within the b
`state`	string	—	Two-letter US state abbreviation to filter stations by state (e.g. "TX", "CA"). Returns all aviation weather stations in that state.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs aviationweather.reference.stations safely

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

aviationweather.reference.stations Allowed

aviationweather.reference.stations is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "aviationweather.reference.stations": {}
  }
}

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Apibase, apply this rule, and every aviationweather.reference.stations call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about aviationweather.reference.stations

What does the aviationweather.reference.stations tool do? +

Look up aviation weather observation stations by ICAO identifier(s), bounding box, or US state. Returns station metadata: ICAO, IATA, FAA, and WMO identifiers; site name; coordinates; elevation; country/state; and observation types supported (METAR, TAF, PIREP). Useful for discovering station identifiers before calling METAR or TAF tools. Provide one of: ids (comma-separated ICAO codes), bbox (minLat,minLon,maxLat,maxLon), or state (2-letter US). Source: NOAA Aviation Weather Center — US Government public domain, no auth required. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does aviationweather.reference.stations accept? +

aviationweather.reference.stations accepts 3 parameters: ids, bbox, state. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on aviationweather.reference.stations? +

Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for aviationweather.reference.stations: 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 Apibase. Nothing to install.

What risk level is aviationweather.reference.stations? +

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

Can I rate-limit aviationweather.reference.stations? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the aviationweather.reference.stations 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 aviationweather.reference.stations completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for aviationweather.reference.stations. 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 aviationweather.reference.stations? +
