AI agents call getCurrentFlightPosition to retrieve information from SimBrief Flight Planning MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely retrieves live position and flight plan data from VATSIM without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation with no destructive, financial, or execution-based side effects. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose aviation tracking data, not cause operational harm or data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool returns 'real-time coordinates (latitude, longitude), altitude, groundspeed, heading, transponder, altimeter setting, and your filed flight plan details' - all retrieved data with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get your current live position on the VATSIM network. Returns real-time coordinates (latitude, longitude), altitude, groundspeed, heading, transponder, altimeter setting, and your filed flight plan details (route, departure, arrival, aircraft, altitude). Use this to track your current position along your route, estimate time to arrival, or verify you. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SimBrief Flight Planning MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SimBrief Flight Planning MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getCurrentFlightPosition: 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 SimBrief Flight Planning MCP Server. Nothing to install.
getCurrentFlightPosition 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 getCurrentFlightPosition 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 getCurrentFlightPosition. 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.
getCurrentFlightPosition is provided by the SimBrief Flight Planning MCP Server MCP server (leonchike/simbrief-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
