AI agents call pestsentinel_get_top_zones to retrieve information from Pest Sentinel — AI Pest Risk Intelligence without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though pestsentinel_get_top_zones only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Get the highest-scoring pest risk zones this week across any region or pest type. Use this to identify the most active pest hotspots nationally or regionally. Useful for operators expanding territory, PE firms evaluating markets, or anyone asking "where is pest pressure highest right now?" Args: - pest_type (string, optional): Filter to one pest type - country (string, optional): 'US' or 'CA' - province (string, optional): State/province code e.g. 'TX', 'CA', 'FL' - limit (number): Max results 1–50 (default: 10) - response_format ('markdown' | 'json'): Output format (default: 'markdown') Returns: Top-scoring zones with pest type, score, trend, and location. Examples: - "Where is termite risk highest in the US?" → pest_type='termites', country='US' - "Top 10 highest pest pressure zones this week" → no filters - "Highest rodent risk in Texas?" → pest_type='rodents', province='TX'. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Pest Sentinel — AI Pest Risk Intelligence MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
