p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes
Get recent earthquake reports issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) via the P2PQuake network. Returns seismic events with epicenter name, coordinates, depth, Richter magnitude, maximum JMA intensity (Shindo scale 1–7), tsunami advisory status, and per-prefecture/city observation points....

What p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes does on Apibase
AI agents call p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | integer | — | Number of events to return (default 10, max 100) |
order | integer | — | Sort direction: -1 for newest-first (default), 1 for oldest-first |
offset | integer | — | Pagination offset (0-based, default 0) |
max_scale | integer | — | Maximum JMA seismic intensity as raw scale value (same scale as min_scale) |
min_scale | integer | — | Minimum JMA seismic intensity as raw scale value (10=Shindo1, 20=Shindo2, 30=Shindo3, 40=Shindo4, 45=Shindo4+, 50=Shindo5w, 55=Shindo5s, 60=Shindo6w, 65=Shindo6 |
prefecture | integer | — | Filter by Japanese prefecture JIS code (1=Hokkaido, 13=Tokyo, 27=Osaka, 40=Fukuoka, 47=Okinawa) |
quake_type | string | — | JMA report type filter: ScalePrompt=intensity prompt, Destination=epicenter info, DetailScale=full epicenter+intensity report, Foreign=overseas earthquake, Othe |
max_magnitude | number | — | Maximum earthquake magnitude (Richter scale) |
min_magnitude | number | — | Minimum earthquake magnitude (Richter scale, e.g. 5.0 for moderate earthquakes) |

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes 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 p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes, this is the rule to start with:
p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes 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 p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes
Get recent earthquake reports issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) via the P2PQuake network. Returns seismic events with epicenter name, coordinates, depth, Richter magnitude, maximum JMA intensity (Shindo scale 1–7), tsunami advisory status, and per-prefecture/city observation points. Filter by minimum/maximum seismic intensity, magnitude, prefecture (JIS code 1–47), or report type. Sort newest-first (default) or oldest-first. JMA intensity scale: 10=Shindo1, 20=Shindo2, ..., 60=Shindo6w, 65=Shindo6s, 70=Shindo7. Tsunami status: None | Checking | NonEffective | Watch | Warning. Data source: P2PQuake — community-operated JMA relay, open data, no auth required. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes accepts 9 parameters: limit, order, offset, max_scale, min_scale, prefecture, quake_type, max_magnitude, min_magnitude. 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 p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes: 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.
p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes 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 p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes 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 p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes. 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.
p2pquake.seismic.recent_quakes 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.
