  • maptiler_batch_geocodeForward-geocode up to 50 queries in one request.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Forward-geocode up to 50 queries in one request. Returns a JSON ARRAY of GeoJSON FeatureCollections, one per query, in order. API: GET /geocoding/{q1;q2;...}.json.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Batch forward geocode
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • maptiler_geolocate_ipGeolocates the IP address making the request — from a hosted Worker this is the server's egress IP, not the end-user's.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Search for a place, address, or POI by name and get matching locations as GeoJSON features. e.g. 'Zurich' or '1600 Pennsylvania Ave'. API: GET /geocoding/{query}.json.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Find the place(s) at a given longitude/latitude, returned as GeoJSON features. API: GET /geocoding/{longitude},{latitude}.json.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
