[Spatial] Find assets within a radius of a lat/lon. Tries multiple coordinate-field conventions; returns a friendly data_unavailable message when none are populated.
AI agents call find_assets_near_location to retrieve information from Maximo Enterprise MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries asset data based on geospatial criteria without performing any side effects. It is a read-only operation that searches for existing assets and returns results. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed—only queried.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_assets_near_location' and description 'Find assets within a radius of a lat/lon' indicate a query/search operation. Description explicitly states it 'returns' data with no mention of creation, modification, deletion, or external execution.

[Spatial] Find assets within a radius of a lat/lon. Tries multiple coordinate-field conventions; returns a friendly data_unavailable message when none are populated. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Maximo Enterprise MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Maximo Enterprise MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_assets_near_location: 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 Maximo Enterprise MCP. Nothing to install.
find_assets_near_location 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 find_assets_near_location 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 find_assets_near_location. 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.
