Get meteorological data
AI agents call get_meteorological_data to retrieve information from LocalTides MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves meteorological data from the NOAA Tides and Currents API. It performs a read-only query operation that returns data without modifying, creating, deleting, executing code, or moving financial resources. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could retrieve meteorological information but cannot alter systems, execute arbitrary commands, or cause financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_meteorological_data' uses the verb 'get', indicating data retrieval. The server description states it provides tools for 'access to water level data, tide predictions, currents data, station information, and astronomical information'.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get meteorological data. It is categorised as a Read tool in the LocalTides MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the LocalTides MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_meteorological_data: 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 LocalTides MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_meteorological_data 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 get_meteorological_data 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 get_meteorological_data. 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.
get_meteorological_data is provided by the LocalTides MCP Server MCP server (ryancardin15/noaa-tidesandcurrents-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
