get_climate_projections

Get climate change projections for a country, variable, and scenario. Returns a timeseries from 2015 to 2100 with median, uncertainty range, and warming levels. Args: country_iso: ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code (e.g. 'DEU', 'USA'). See climate://countries resource for all valid...

Part of the Climate Impacts MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call get_climate_projections to retrieve information from Climate Impacts without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though get_climate_projections only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the get_climate_projections tool do? +

Get climate change projections for a country, variable, and scenario. Returns a timeseries from 2015 to 2100 with median, uncertainty range, and warming levels. Args: country_iso: ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code (e.g. 'DEU', 'USA'). See climate://countries resource for all valid codes. variable: Climate variable ID (e.g. 'tasAdjust', 'prAdjust'). See climate://variables resource for all valid IDs — do NOT guess. scenario: Emission scenario ID (e.g. 'h_cpol'). See climate://scenarios resource for all valid IDs. season: Season — one of 'annual', 'MAM', 'JJA', 'SON', 'DJF'. Default: 'annual'. spatial_weighting: Spatial aggregation — one of 'area', 'pop', 'gdp', 'harvarea', 'wheat', 'maize', 'soybean', 'rice', 'sum'. Default: 'area'. . It is categorised as a Read tool in the Climate Impacts MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_climate_projections? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_climate_projections. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Climate Impacts MCP server.

What risk level is get_climate_projections? +

get_climate_projections is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_climate_projections? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_climate_projections rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block get_climate_projections completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get_climate_projections. 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.

What MCP server provides get_climate_projections? +

get_climate_projections is provided by the Climate Impacts MCP server (valentinlemaire/climate-impacts). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
