oecd.environment.emissions
Retrieve annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for any OECD country from the OECD Environment Policy and Progress indicators database. Returns CO2-equivalent emissions (in million tonnes) broken down by gas type (CO2, CH4, N2O, F-gases, etc.) and economic sector (energy, transport, agricultu...

What oecd.environment.emissions does on Apibase
AI agents call oecd.environment.emissions 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
country | string | Yes | ISO 3-letter OECD country code (e.g. USA, GBR, DEU, FRA, JPN, CAN, AUS, KOR, ITA, ESP). See OECD reference area codes for the full list of 38 member countries. |
end_period | string | — | End year for GHG emissions data (e.g. "2022"). Defaults to latest available. |
max_series | integer | — | Maximum number of time series to return (1–100, default 20). Each series is a unique combination of dimensions such as sector, measure, or adjustment type. |
start_period | string | — | Start year for GHG emissions data (e.g. "2015"). Defaults to 10 years prior. |

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs oecd.environment.emissions 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 oecd.environment.emissions, this is the rule to start with:
oecd.environment.emissions is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Apibase, apply this rule, and every oecd.environment.emissions call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about oecd.environment.emissions
Retrieve annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for any OECD country from the OECD Environment Policy and Progress indicators database. Returns CO2-equivalent emissions (in million tonnes) broken down by gas type (CO2, CH4, N2O, F-gases, etc.) and economic sector (energy, transport, agriculture, industry, waste, etc.). Covers OECD members from 1990 to the latest available year, with data aligned to IPCC inventory guidelines and UNFCCC reporting. Useful for climate policy analysis, carbon footprint comparisons, and tracking progress towards net-zero targets. Source: OECD ENV.EPI SDMX API, CC BY 4.0, no auth required, unlimited. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
oecd.environment.emissions accepts 4 parameters: country, end_period, max_series, start_period. Required: country. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for oecd.environment.emissions: 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.
oecd.environment.emissions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the oecd.environment.emissions 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for oecd.environment.emissions. 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.
oecd.environment.emissions is provided by the Apibase MCP server (apibase-mcp-client). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
