Get directions between two points
AI agents call maps_directions to retrieve information from Server Puppeteer without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves directional/navigation information from a mapping service. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute code; it simply queries and returns data. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—incorrect directions cause inconvenience but not system compromise or data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get directions between two points' — a retrieval operation that queries mapping data and returns navigation information without modifying any state or triggering side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get directions between two points. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Server Puppeteer MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Server Puppeteer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for maps_directions: 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 Server Puppeteer. Nothing to install.
maps_directions 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 maps_directions 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 maps_directions. 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.
maps_directions is provided by the Server Puppeteer MCP server (@hisma/server-puppeteer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
