Why kaprekar_step is rated Low

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs kaprekar_step safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For kaprekar_step, this is the rule to start with:
kaprekar_step 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 ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every kaprekar_step call is checked against it from then on.
