Return meter readings for an asset over a look-back window with per-meter trend deltas.
AI agents call get_meter_readings 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 and queries meter reading data for an asset with trend analysis over a specified time window. It has no side effects on assets, work orders, or any other system state. This is a pure data retrieval operation with minimal security risk unless the readings themselves are highly sensitive operational data, which would still classify as Read category rather than a higher severity tier.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_meter_readings' and description states 'Return meter readings' - indicates retrieval of historical data only. No modification, deletion, or execution capability is described.

Return meter readings for an asset over a look-back window with per-meter trend deltas. 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 get_meter_readings: 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.
get_meter_readings 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 get_meter_readings 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 get_meter_readings. 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.
get_meter_readings is provided by the Maximo Enterprise MCP server (maximo-enterprise-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
