WHAT IT DOES

What iss.space.tle does on Apibase

AI agents use iss.space.tle to create or update resources in Apibase, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Apibase environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`format`	string	—	Response format: json (default) or text (raw TLE two-line element)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why iss.space.tle is rated Medium

An AI agent can call iss.space.tle faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Apibase by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs iss.space.tle 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 iss.space.tle, this is the rule to start with:

iss.space.tle Rate-limited

iss.space.tle stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
