# time_convert

Converts one instant into any number of timezones, handling daylight saving transitions correctly. Naive inputs (no Z or offset) are read as wall-clock time in from; inputs carrying an offset are absolute.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "time_convert",
    "arguments": {
      "to": []
    }
  }
}
```

## Why time_convert is rated Medium

An AI agent can call time_convert faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Tools by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

## Use case

AI agents use time_convert to create or update resources in Tools, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Tools environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Tools:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "time_convert": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "time_convert_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
