28 major cloud provider regions (AWS, Azure, GCP) with coordinates, zone counts, and launch dates. Optional: provider, country.
AI agents call intel_cloud_regions to retrieve information from Threat Intelligence MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs pure data retrieval of static cloud infrastructure metadata. It queries existing information about cloud regions without modifying, deleting, executing, or creating any resources. There is no potential for financial impact, destructive actions, or code execution. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only gather reference information about public cloud infrastructure.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and queries cloud provider metadata (region information, coordinates, zone counts, launch dates) from AWS, Azure, and GCP with optional filtering. The description indicates data retrieval operations only with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access intel_cloud_regions gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Threat Intelligence MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for intel_cloud_regions:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"intel_cloud_regions": {}
}
}intel_cloud_regions is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

28 major cloud provider regions (AWS, Azure, GCP) with coordinates, zone counts, and launch dates. Optional: provider, country. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Threat Intelligence MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Threat Intelligence MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for intel_cloud_regions: 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 Threat Intelligence MCP Server. Nothing to install.
intel_cloud_regions 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 intel_cloud_regions 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 intel_cloud_regions. 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.
intel_cloud_regions is provided by the Threat Intelligence MCP Server MCP server (marc-shade/world-intel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Threat Intelligence MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
