Convert multiple PLSS or Texas TXSS legal land descriptions to GPS coordinates in one request.
AI agents call batch_convert to retrieve information from Townshipamerica without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a data conversion/lookup operation — transforming land descriptions into GPS coordinates. It retrieves/computes coordinate data with no side effects, data modification, or external operations. It is a batch version of the read-only plss_to_coordinates tool.

Convert multiple PLSS or Texas TXSS legal land descriptions to GPS coordinates in one request. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Townshipamerica MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Townshipamerica MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for batch_convert: 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 Townshipamerica. Nothing to install.
batch_convert 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 batch_convert 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 batch_convert. 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.
batch_convert is provided by the Townshipamerica MCP server (townshipamerica/python-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
