AI agents call sg_rainfall to retrieve information from Sgdata without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool fetches real-time rainfall data from weather stations. It performs a read-only query of publicly available government sensor data (National Environment Agency). There is no capacity to modify data, execute code, delete records, or conduct financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'Live 5-minute rainfall readings (mm) from NEA stations' — a query of environmental monitoring data with no side effects.

Register the Sgdata MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sg_rainfall: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Sgdata. Nothing to install.
sg_rainfall is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sg_rainfall 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for sg_rainfall. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
sg_rainfall is provided by the Sgdata MCP server (sypherin/sgdata-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
