What get_waterways does on OSM-GeoJSON-MCP-Server

AI agents call get_waterways 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_waterways needs a policy

This is a data retrieval operation with no side effects. It queries an external data source (OpenStreetMap) and returns geographic information in a standard format for analysis and visualization. There is no capability to modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve unwanted geospatial data but cannot cause harm beyond information disclosure.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'retrieves' (取得します) waterway and water body data in GeoJSON format from a specified rectangular area.

How to control get_waterways

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_waterways:

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

get_waterways 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.
