Live vehicle data from Fleet API — real-time battery, charging, climate, locks, sentry.
AI agents call tesla_live to retrieve information from Mcp Teslamate Fleet without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves live telemetry/status data from the vehicle (battery level, charging status, climate state, lock state, sentry mode). It reads and returns real-time information without modifying any vehicle state or triggering any commands. No side effects are indicated.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Live vehicle data from Fleet API — real-time battery, charging, climate, locks, sentry. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Teslamate Fleet MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Teslamate Fleet MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tesla_live: 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 Mcp Teslamate Fleet. Nothing to install.
tesla_live 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 tesla_live 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 tesla_live. 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.
tesla_live is provided by the Mcp Teslamate Fleet MCP server (lodordev/mcp-teslamate-fleet). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
