Medium Risk

convert

Convert an amount between currencies at the LIVE rate (not a stale training-era rate). CURRENTLY LIVE: fiat (USD/EUR/GBP/JPY/CNY/AUD/...). Crypto (BTC/ETH/SOL/...) and precious metals (XAU/XAG/XPT/XPD) are coming in a future release. e.g. 100 USD→JPY, 5000 EUR→GBP.

Part of the Dynamic Feed server.

convert can modify Dynamic Feed data, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents use convert to create or modify resources in Dynamic Feed. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call convert repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Dynamic Feed.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access convert gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so convert only ever does what you allow.

What does the convert tool do? +

Convert an amount between currencies at the LIVE rate (not a stale training-era rate). CURRENTLY LIVE: fiat (USD/EUR/GBP/JPY/CNY/AUD/...). Crypto (BTC/ETH/SOL/...) and precious metals (XAU/XAG/XPT/XPD) are coming in a future release. e.g. 100 USD→JPY, 5000 EUR→GBP.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Dynamic Feed MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on convert? +

Register the Dynamic Feed MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for convert: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Dynamic Feed. Nothing to install.

What risk level is convert? +

convert is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit convert? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the convert rule in your PolicyLayer 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 convert completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for convert. 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 convert? +

convert is provided by the Dynamic Feed MCP server (https://dynamicfeed.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Dynamic Feed tool call.
