Why financial_calculator needs a policy

The tool name explicitly references 'financial' operations. While the description is empty (reducing confidence), on a math server this could range from harmless financial math (e.g., compound interest calculations) to tools that interact with real financial systems. Given the name implies financial domain and the most severe applicable category is Financial, it is classified as Financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'financial_calculator' suggests financial computations; description is empty and uninformative.

How to control financial_calculator

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Math MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for financial_calculator:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "financial_calculator": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to financial_calculator is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Math MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
