AI agents use div to create or modify resources in Calculator. 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 div 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 Calculator.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access div 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 div only ever does what you allow.

What does the div tool do? +

Divide two numbers (floating point division).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Calculator MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on div? +

Register the Calculator MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for div: 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 Calculator. Nothing to install.

What risk level is div? +

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

Can I rate-limit div? +

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

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

div is provided by the Calculator MCP server (AITutor3/calculator-mcp-test). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Calculator tool call.
