Create a bounding box geometry from a set of coordinate points
AI agents call osm_create_bounding_box to retrieve information from SkyFi MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Despite the word 'create', this tool performs a local geometric calculation to produce a bounding box from provided coordinates. It does not write to any database, call external APIs with side effects, or modify any state. It is functionally equivalent to a data transformation/query operation.
From the tool's definition 'Create a bounding box geometry from a set of coordinate points' — this is a pure geometric computation that takes input coordinates and returns a derived geometry with no external side effects
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Create a bounding box geometry from a set of coordinate points. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SkyFi MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SkyFi MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for osm_create_bounding_box: 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 SkyFi MCP Server. Nothing to install.
osm_create_bounding_box 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 osm_create_bounding_box 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 osm_create_bounding_box. 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.
osm_create_bounding_box is provided by the SkyFi MCP Server MCP server (pskinnertech/skyfi-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
