Search Swiss dams and reservoirs under federal supervision by name. Searches both dam names and reservoir names. Returns dam type, height, crest length, reservoir volume, purpose, canton, and year built. Data source: Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) via swisstopo BGDI.
AI agents call search_dams to retrieve information from Mcp Swiss without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward data retrieval tool querying a public federal database. It retrieves structured information about infrastructure without side effects, reversibility concerns, or external system impacts. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—misuse returns public information only.
From the tool's definition Tool performs a 'search' operation that 'returns' publicly available data about dams (type, height, crest length, volume, purpose, canton, year built) from Swiss Federal Office of Energy.

Search Swiss dams and reservoirs under federal supervision by name. Searches both dam names and reservoir names. Returns dam type, height, crest length, reservoir volume, purpose, canton, and year built. Data source: Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) via swisstopo BGDI. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Swiss MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Swiss MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_dams: 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 Mcp Swiss. Nothing to install.
search_dams 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 search_dams 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 search_dams. 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.
search_dams is provided by the Mcp Swiss MCP server (mcp-swiss). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
