Global disaster alerts from GDACS (UN): earthquakes, floods, cyclones, droughts, wildfires. Severity levels (green/orange/red) with affected populations.
AI agents call intel_disaster_alerts 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 read-only queries of publicly available disaster alert data. It retrieves information about natural disasters and their impacts with no side effects, data modification, or ability to trigger actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only request irrelevant or excessive alerts, causing no damage. Classification as Read with low severity is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and queries disaster alert data from GDACS (UN) including earthquakes, floods, cyclones, droughts, wildfires with severity levels and affected population information.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access intel_disaster_alerts 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_disaster_alerts:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"intel_disaster_alerts": {}
}
}intel_disaster_alerts is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Global disaster alerts from GDACS (UN): earthquakes, floods, cyclones, droughts, wildfires. Severity levels (green/orange/red) with affected populations. 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_disaster_alerts: 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_disaster_alerts 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_disaster_alerts 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_disaster_alerts. 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_disaster_alerts 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.
