What get_railways does on OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server

AI agents call get_railways to retrieve information from OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_railways needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves OpenStreetMap railway infrastructure data and converts it to GeoJSON format. It performs a GET-like operation with no side effects—it neither modifies, deletes, nor executes arbitrary operations. The data returned (railway lines, stations, subways, trams) is public geographic information.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_railways' and description indicate data retrieval: '指定した矩形範囲内の鉄道データをGeoJSON形式で取得します' (retrieves railway data in a specified rectangular area in GeoJSON format).

How to control get_railways

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 get_railways:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_railways": {}
  }
}

get_railways is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
