## Why get_iss_location is rated Low

This tool retrieves real-time positional data about the ISS from a public data source. It performs no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions. It is a straightforward read operation with no blast radius if misused—an AI agent calling this repeatedly or with incorrect parameters would simply receive location data with no harm to any system.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_iss_location' and description 'Get the current location of the International Space Station' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. This is a pure query of public ISS tracking data."

## Use case

AI agents call get_iss_location to retrieve information from Integrations MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Integrations MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_iss_location": {}
  }
}
```
