distance
AI agents call distance to retrieve information from LocuSync Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'distance' tool calculates distances between coordinates or geographic features—a read-only analytical operation with no side effects. It queries spatial data but does not create, modify, delete, or execute arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'distance' in a geospatial server context; sibling tools (area, centroid, elevation, etc.) are all analytical/computational functions that query spatial data without modification. Empty description limits confidence slightly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
distance. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LocuSync Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LocuSync Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for distance: 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 LocuSync Server. Nothing to install.
distance 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 distance 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 distance. 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.
distance is provided by the LocuSync Server MCP server (matbel91765/gis-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
