Why get_weather_byDateTimeRange needs a policy

This tool retrieves historical or forecasted weather data within a date range. It performs a read-only query against the Open-Meteo API with no capability to modify, delete, execute code, or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only request excessive queries or retrieve weather data for arbitrary locations, neither of which causes damage or irreversible consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate data retrieval only: 'Get weather information for a specified city between start and end dates.' The verb 'Get' and the context of the Weather MCP Server (which retrieves real-time weather data) confirm this is a query…
