geolookup
AI agents call geolookup to retrieve information from IR Toolshed MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Geolocation lookups retrieve publicly available geographic information associated with IP addresses. This is a passive read operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—even if misused by an AI agent, the tool only returns location data that is already public, with no destructive or financial implications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'geolookup' and server context indicate IP geolocation lookup functionality. Sibling tools (asnlookup, dnslookup, whoislookup) are all read-only network information retrieval operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
geolookup. It is categorised as a Read tool in the IR Toolshed MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the IR Toolshed MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for geolookup: 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 IR Toolshed MCP Server. Nothing to install.
geolookup 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 geolookup 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 geolookup. 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.
geolookup is provided by the IR Toolshed MCP Server MCP server (rossja/irtoolshed-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
