Register the N2YO Satellite Tracker MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_satellites_with_tle: 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.
query_satellites_with_tle 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 query_satellites_with_tle 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 query_satellites_with_tle. 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.
query_satellites_with_tle 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.
