Get download statistics and limits
AI agents call get_download_stats to retrieve information from Geo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only query tool that returns metadata about download activity and constraints. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, does not execute code or commands, and does not involve financial transactions. It fits squarely in the Read category with low severity because misuse would only expose usage statistics, posing minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Get download statistics and limits' — retrieves status information about downloads without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_download_stats gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Geo, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_download_stats:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_download_stats": {}
}
}get_download_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get download statistics and limits. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Geo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Geo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_download_stats: 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 Geo. Nothing to install.
get_download_stats 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_download_stats 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_download_stats. 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_download_stats is provided by the Geo MCP server (mcpmed/geomcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Geo, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
