Get satellite trajectory over time period for visualization
AI agents call get_satellite_trajectory to retrieve information from N2YO Satellite Tracker MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves historical or predicted trajectory data for satellites, enabling visualization without modifying any data, executing code, or causing irreversible changes. It is a pure read operation querying existing satellite tracking data. Severity is low because the data is public satellite position information with no sensitive, financial, or operational consequences if exposed.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_satellite_trajectory' and description 'Get satellite trajectory over time period for visualization' indicate data retrieval only.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get satellite trajectory over time period for visualization. It is categorised as a Read tool in the N2YO Satellite Tracker MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the N2YO Satellite Tracker MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_satellite_trajectory: 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 N2YO Satellite Tracker MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_satellite_trajectory 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_satellite_trajectory 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_satellite_trajectory. 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_satellite_trajectory is provided by the N2YO Satellite Tracker MCP Server MCP server (maxwellcalkin/n2yo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
