Search ALL locations by name, address, store ID, or location descriptor. Returns lightweight results for quick discovery. Use pinmeto_get_location with storeId for full details.\n\n
AI agents call pinmeto_search_locations to retrieve information from PinMeTo Location MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a query tool that retrieves location data. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations—it only searches and returns information. The lightweight nature of results and the guidance to use a separate tool (pinmeto_get_location) for full details confirms this is a read-only operation. No blast radius from misuse beyond potential information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search ALL locations' and 'Returns lightweight results for quick discovery.' The verb 'search' combined with 'returns results' indicates data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access pinmeto_search_locations gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PinMeTo Location MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pinmeto_search_locations:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"pinmeto_search_locations": {}
}
}pinmeto_search_locations is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Search ALL locations by name, address, store ID, or location descriptor. Returns lightweight results for quick discovery. Use pinmeto_get_location with storeId for full details.\n\n. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PinMeTo Location MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PinMeTo Location MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pinmeto_search_locations: 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 PinMeTo Location MCP. Nothing to install.
pinmeto_search_locations 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 pinmeto_search_locations 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 pinmeto_search_locations. 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.
pinmeto_search_locations is provided by the PinMeTo Location MCP server (pinmeto/pinmeto-location-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from PinMeTo Location MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
