What download_osm_data does on OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server

AI agents use download_osm_data to create or update resources in OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server environment.

Why download_osm_data needs a policy

The tool downloads OpenStreetMap data and saves it to a file on the local filesystem. This is a Write operation as it creates/writes files. The description is partially uninformative (no details on file paths, overwrite behavior, or size limits beyond 'can handle large data'), which slightly lowers confidence.

From the tool's definition "ダウンロードしてファイルに保存します" (downloads and saves to file)

How to control download_osm_data

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for download_osm_data:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "download_osm_data": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "download_osm_data_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

download_osm_data stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
