What calculate_pcaf does on Api
AI agents call calculate_pcaf to retrieve information from Api without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
holdings | array | Yes | Each: { outstanding_amount, denominator:{type:"evic"|"equity_plus_debt", value}, company_emissions:{value,unit?} OR estimate_from_spend:{amount_usd, sector_key} |
asset_class | string | — |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why calculate_pcaf is rated Low
Even though calculate_pcaf only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs calculate_pcaf safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Api, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For calculate_pcaf, this is the rule to start with:
calculate_pcaf is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Api, apply this rule, and every calculate_pcaf call is checked against it from then on.

calculate_pcaf is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the calculate_pcaf 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for calculate_pcaf. 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.
calculate_pcaf is provided by the Api MCP server (https://mcp.greencalculus.com). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
