get_cities
AI agents call get_cities to retrieve information from Infobel Api without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool appears to retrieve geographical city data from the Infobel GetData API. It is a getter/retrieval function with no side effects, fits the Read category (query/fetch operation). Low severity because retrieving city location data carries minimal risk of misuse—it is public reference data. Confidence reduced slightly due to empty description, but sibling context strongly supports Read classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cities' with sibling tools including 'get_available_countries', 'get_provinces', 'get_record' that are part of a business data retrieval API (Infobel GetData API).

get_cities. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Infobel Api MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Infobel Api MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_cities: 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 Infobel Api. Nothing to install.
get_cities 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_cities 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_cities. 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_cities is provided by the Infobel Api MCP server (techinfobel/infobel-getdata-api-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
