Low Risk

get_sg_psi

Get current PSI (Pollutant Standards Index) air quality readings for Singapore from NEA. Returns PSI values by region with health advisories. Use this tool when you need to check air quality, haze conditions, or pollution levels in Singapore.

Part of the Sg Weather Data MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call get_sg_psi to retrieve information from Sg Weather Data 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_sg_psi 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_sg_psi tool do? +

Get current PSI (Pollutant Standards Index) air quality readings for Singapore from NEA. Returns PSI values by region with health advisories. Use this tool when you need to check air quality, haze conditions, or pollution levels in Singapore.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sg Weather Data MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_sg_psi? +

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

What risk level is get_sg_psi? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_sg_psi? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_sg_psi 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_sg_psi completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get_sg_psi. 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_sg_psi? +

get_sg_psi is provided by the Sg Weather Data MCP server (vdineshk/sg-weather-data-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
