Decode Meteor-M weather satellite LRPT transmission using SatDump
AI agents invoke satellite_decode_meteor to trigger actions in AetherLink SDR MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
This tool executes an external program (SatDump) to process and decode satellite signal transmissions. It is not a simple read/query of stored data but an active execution of signal processing software. Misuse could involve unauthorized interception of transmissions or consuming significant compute/RF resources, but blast radius is moderate as it primarily affects local resources and produces decoded weather imagery.
From the tool's definition 'Decode Meteor-M weather satellite LRPT transmission using SatDump' — triggers an external decoding operation via SatDump software
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access satellite_decode_meteor gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AetherLink SDR MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for satellite_decode_meteor:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"satellite_decode_meteor": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "satellite_decode_meteor_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}satellite_decode_meteor stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Decode Meteor-M weather satellite LRPT transmission using SatDump. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the AetherLink SDR MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the AetherLink SDR MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for satellite_decode_meteor: 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 AetherLink SDR MCP. Nothing to install.
satellite_decode_meteor is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the satellite_decode_meteor 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 satellite_decode_meteor. 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.
satellite_decode_meteor is provided by the AetherLink SDR MCP server (n-erickson/aetherlink-sdr-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from AetherLink SDR MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
