What batch_geocode does on ThinAir Geo

AI agents call batch_geocode to retrieve information from ThinAir Geo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why batch_geocode needs a policy

Geocoding is a lookup operation that converts addresses into geographic coordinates. batch_geocode retrieves location data in bulk without side effects, state changes, or irreversible actions. Maximum batch size of 50 is a rate-limiting constraint, not a severity factor. This is a straightforward read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'geocode[s] multiple addresses' and 'structured per-record results' with no mention of modifying, deleting, or executing operations.
