Medium Risk

convert_timezone

Convert time between two locations via GET /v3/timezone/convert. Works on free and paid plans. Cost: 1 credit. Specify source and destination by IANA timezone, coordinates, location, airport code, or UN/LOCODE. Returns original time, converted time, diff_hour, and diff_min.

Part of the Ipgeolocation Io MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

ipgeolocation-io-mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use convert_timezone to create or modify resources in Ipgeolocation Io. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call convert_timezone repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Ipgeolocation Io.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the convert_timezone tool do? +

Convert time between two locations via GET /v3/timezone/convert. Works on free and paid plans. Cost: 1 credit. Specify source and destination by IANA timezone, coordinates, location, airport code, or UN/LOCODE. Returns original time, converted time, diff_hour, and diff_min.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ipgeolocation Io MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on convert_timezone? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for convert_timezone. 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 convert_timezone? +

convert_timezone is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit convert_timezone? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the convert_timezone 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 convert_timezone completely? +

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

convert_timezone 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.
