What geocoding does on Amap MCP Server

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

Why geocoding needs a policy

Geocoding is a read-only operation that retrieves geographic coordinate data based on address input. It queries map data without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. No side effects or irreversible actions occur. Low severity because misuse would only expose location data, not cause damage or financial harm.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'geocoding' and description '高德地图 - 地理编码(地址转坐标)' (Amap - Geocoding: address to coordinates) indicate a lookup/query operation that converts addresses to geographic coordinates.
