Check current API usage, daily limit, plan name, and upgrade options.
AI agents call quota to retrieve information from ThinAir Data without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns metadata about API usage and billing plans. It performs read-only operations to fetch current quota information. No data is created, modified, deleted, or destroyed. No code is executed. No financial transactions occur (it merely displays upgrade options, not processing them).
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Check current API usage, daily limit, plan name, and upgrade options' — purely retrieves information about quota and plan details with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check current API usage, daily limit, plan name, and upgrade options. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ThinAir Data MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ThinAir Data MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for quota: 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 ThinAir Data. Nothing to install.
quota 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 quota 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 quota. 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.
quota is provided by the ThinAir Data MCP server (thinairtelematics/thinair-data). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
