Get a list of WeatherXM stations within a specified radius from a location. Uses the stations/near endpoint with radius in meters.
AI agents call get_stations_near to retrieve information from WeatherXM Pro MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves information about weather station locations based on geographic proximity. It performs a read-only lookup operation with no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve station metadata within a specified radius, posing no risk to data integrity, financial systems, or system security.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_stations_near' and description 'Get a list of WeatherXM stations' indicate a retrieval operation. The endpoint 'stations/near' returns data without modification. No side effects, state changes, or external actions are triggered.

get_stations_near 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_stations_near 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.
