Get user geographical location based on IP
AI agents call get_user_location to retrieve information from Red Bee MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a lookup query (IP-to-geolocation mapping) with no side effects. It retrieves information but does not create, modify, delete, or trigger external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could learn approximate user locations but cannot compromise accounts, delete data, or move money. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_user_location' and description 'Get user geographical location based on IP' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves location data without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get user geographical location based on IP. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Red Bee MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Red Bee MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_user_location: 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 Red Bee MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_user_location 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 get_user_location 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 get_user_location. 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.
get_user_location is provided by the Red Bee MCP Server MCP server (tamsi/redbee-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
