Get just the country code for an IP address.
AI agents call get_ip_country to retrieve information from IPInfo MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely retrieves geolocation metadata for a given IP address. It has no side effects, cannot execute code or commands, does not modify or delete data, and poses no financial risk. The information returned (country code) is already public or cached. Misuse would only expose publicly available geolocation intelligence, which carries minimal security risk compared to tools that write, execute, or destroy data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ip_country' and description 'Get just the country code for an IP address' indicate a simple retrieval operation.

Get just the country code for an IP address. It is categorised as a Read tool in the IPInfo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the IPInfo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_ip_country: 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 IPInfo MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_ip_country 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_ip_country 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_ip_country. 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_ip_country is provided by the IPInfo MCP Server MCP server (nimblebraininc/mcp-ipinfo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
