What get_roads does on OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server

AI agents call get_roads 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_roads needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only retrieval of OpenStreetMap road data. It queries the Overpass API and returns filtered geographic data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The function signature and description indicate a simple data retrieval with filtering, characteristic of Read category tools. No side effects or irreversible actions are possible.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves road network data within specified bounds as GeoJSON format with optional filtering by road type. The description indicates a query operation ('取得します' = retrieves/obtains) with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

How to control get_roads

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_roads:

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

get_roads 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.

Can I rate-limit get_roads? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_roads 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.

How do I block get_roads completely? +

What MCP server provides get_roads? +

get_roads is provided by the OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server MCP server (shimizu/osm-geojson-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server tool call.

Start from OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
