What weather does on ThinAir Geo

AI agents call weather 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 weather needs a policy

This tool retrieves atmospheric and weather information for a given location. It is a read-only query operation that provides data for decision-making (travel planning, route risk assessment) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute external operations. The data returned is informational and immutable.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get current and forecast weather' — purely retrieves weather data with no modification, creation, deletion, or execution of code. No side effects or irreversible actions.
