geolocate_country
AI agents call geolocate_country to retrieve information from GeoIP MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves geolocation data (country information) for IP addresses using MaxMind's GeoIP2 databases. It performs a query operation with no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: exposure of IP geolocation data is a Read operation with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'geolocate_country' and sibling tools 'geolocate_ip', 'geolocate_multiple_ips', 'get_asn_info' indicate read-only geolocation queries.

geolocate_country. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GeoIP MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GeoIP MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for geolocate_country: 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 GeoIP MCP Server. Nothing to install.
geolocate_country 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 geolocate_country 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 geolocate_country. 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.
geolocate_country is provided by the GeoIP MCP Server MCP server (mamorett/mcp_geoip2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
