WHAT IT DOES

What ip_info does on TinyFn

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

`ip`	string	Yes	IP address to analyze

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why ip_info is rated Low

This tool retrieves public IP address metadata (geolocation, ISP, etc.) without modifying or deleting any data. It is a read-only query operation. The TinyFn server context (deterministic tools for validation and conversion) supports this classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'ip_info' and description states 'Get detailed information about an IP address.' The verb 'get' and 'information about' indicate retrieval/query operations with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ip_info safely

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

ip_info Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ip_info": {}
  }
}

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

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