List all downloaded GEO datasets
AI agents call list_downloaded_datasets 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 tool only retrieves information about previously downloaded datasets without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a passive read operation with minimal security risk—the worst case is information disclosure about what datasets exist locally.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_downloaded_datasets' and description 'List all downloaded GEO datasets' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_downloaded_datasets 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 list_downloaded_datasets:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_downloaded_datasets": {}
}
}list_downloaded_datasets is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all downloaded GEO datasets. 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 list_downloaded_datasets: 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.
list_downloaded_datasets 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 list_downloaded_datasets 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 list_downloaded_datasets. 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.
list_downloaded_datasets 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.
