What nwo_query_magnetic does on NWO Robotics

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

Why nwo_query_magnetic needs a policy

This tool queries a magnetometer sensor to retrieve environmental data (metal presence, magnetic fields). It has no side effects—it observes rather than acts upon the environment. While the broader server context involves robot control and financial transactions, this specific tool is a Read operation analogous to get_robot_status or other monitoring functions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'nwo_query_magnetic' and description indicate passive sensor data retrieval: 'Detect metal objects, magnetic fields, and metallic contamination.' The verb 'detect' in the context of sensor queries indicates reading/monitoring sensor output, not…

Questions about nwo_query_magnetic

What does the nwo_query_magnetic tool do? +

Magnetometer sensor. Detect metal objects, magnetic fields, and metallic contamination. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NWO Robotics MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on nwo_query_magnetic? +

Register the NWO Robotics MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for nwo_query_magnetic: 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 NWO Robotics. Nothing to install.

What risk level is nwo_query_magnetic? +

nwo_query_magnetic is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit nwo_query_magnetic? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the nwo_query_magnetic 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.

How do I block nwo_query_magnetic completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for nwo_query_magnetic. 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.

What MCP server provides nwo_query_magnetic? +

nwo_query_magnetic is provided by the NWO Robotics MCP server (redciprianpater/mcp-server-robotics). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
