palindrome_steps
How many reverse-and-add steps turn n into a palindrome. 7 and 121 take 0, 10 takes 1, 19 takes 2, and 89 takes 24. If 50 steps are not enough, the input is rejected. n runs from 0 to 10000. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https://scorptech.it.com...

What palindrome_steps does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents use palindrome_steps to create or update resources in ScorpTech x402 API, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ScorpTech x402 API environment.

n | integer | Yes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why palindrome_steps is rated Medium
An AI agent can call palindrome_steps faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in ScorpTech x402 API by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs palindrome_steps 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 palindrome_steps, this is the rule to start with:
palindrome_steps stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 palindrome_steps call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about palindrome_steps

It is categorised as a Write tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
palindrome_steps accepts 1 parameter: n. Required: n. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for palindrome_steps: 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 ScorpTech x402 API. Nothing to install.
palindrome_steps is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the palindrome_steps 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 palindrome_steps. 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.
palindrome_steps is provided by the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server (https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
