Get full address details by URL. Follow the canonical link from search results to retrieve geocoding (lat/long), structured components (street, suburb, state, postcode, unit/flat), and confidence score.
AI agents call get-address to retrieve information from Addressr without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely retrieves and queries address data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing code. It is a straightforward read operation that fetches geocoding coordinates and address components from an Australian address database. No side effects or irreversible actions are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get full address details' and 'retrieve geocoding' and 'retrieve' indicates data retrieval with no side effects. The tool follows a URL from search results to fetch structured address components and confidence scores.

Get full address details by URL. Follow the canonical link from search results to retrieve geocoding (lat/long), structured components (street, suburb, state, postcode, unit/flat), and confidence score. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Addressr MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Addressr MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-address: 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 Addressr. Nothing to install.
get-address 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-address 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-address. 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-address is provided by the Addressr MCP server (mountain-pass/addressr-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
