What convert_coordinates does on Leaflet

AI agents call convert_coordinates to retrieve information from Leaflet without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why convert_coordinates needs a policy

This tool performs pure data transformation and validation — converting coordinate formats and checking their validity. It has no side effects, does not modify any external state, and only processes input data to produce converted output. This is a classic Read/compute operation with minimal blast radius.
