Low Risk

Input

`state` (string): Two-letter US state code (e.g. CA, NY)

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

AI agents call Input to perform operations in Weather. While the risk category is not fully classified, applying a rate limit gives you visibility into how often the tool is called and prevents unexpected bursts of activity from autonomous agents.

Applying a policy to Input gives you an audit trail of every call an AI agent makes. Even for low-risk tools, visibility into agent behaviour helps you debug issues, optimise workflows, and maintain compliance with your organisation's security requirements.

Apply a rate limit to control usage and monitor for unexpected behaviour.

What does the Input tool do? +

`state` (string): Two-letter US state code (e.g. CA, NY). It is categorised as a Other tool in the Weather MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on Input? +

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

What risk level is Input? +

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

Can I rate-limit Input? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the Input 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 Input completely? +

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

Input is provided by the Weather MCP server (@h1deya/mcp-server-weather). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
