Get X-ray flux (solar flare) data from GOES satellite. Use query parameter to filter by time range, limit results, or sort. Returns data about solar flares which can cause HF radio blackouts.
AI agents call get_xray_flux to retrieve information from NOAA Space Weather MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves real-time space weather data from an external source (NOAA GOES satellite) and presents it to the user. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute code. The query parameters are filters for data retrieval only.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get X-ray flux (solar flare) data from GOES satellite' with query parameters to 'filter by time range, limit results, or sort.' The tool retrieves and returns observational data without modifying, deleting, or executing operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get X-ray flux (solar flare) data from GOES satellite. Use query parameter to filter by time range, limit results, or sort. Returns data about solar flares which can cause HF radio blackouts. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NOAA Space Weather MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NOAA Space Weather MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_xray_flux: 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 NOAA Space Weather MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_xray_flux 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_xray_flux 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_xray_flux. 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_xray_flux is provided by the NOAA Space Weather MCP Server MCP server (numa08/noaa-space-weather-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
