Bulk IP lookup via POST /v3/ipgeo-bulk. Paid only. Cost: 1 credit per IP for base geolocation. This MCP server accepts up to 1,000 IPs per request.

ipgeolocation-io-mcp Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call bulk_lookup_ip to retrieve information from Ipgeolocation Io without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though bulk_lookup_ip only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the bulk_lookup_ip tool do? +

Bulk IP lookup via POST /v3/ipgeo-bulk. Paid only. Cost: 1 credit per IP for base geolocation. This MCP server accepts up to 1,000 IPs per request. Use it when multiple IPs need location or mixed IP domains. Include modules such as security or abuse add their normal per-IP credit costs. For bulk security-only checks, prefer bulk_security_check.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ipgeolocation Io MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on bulk_lookup_ip? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for bulk_lookup_ip. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Ipgeolocation Io MCP server.

What risk level is bulk_lookup_ip? +

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

Can I rate-limit bulk_lookup_ip? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the bulk_lookup_ip rule in your Intercept 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 bulk_lookup_ip completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for bulk_lookup_ip. 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 bulk_lookup_ip? +

bulk_lookup_ip is provided by the Ipgeolocation Io MCP server (ipgeolocation-io-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
