polite_split
The shortest sum of consecutive positive integers equal to n. 9 is 4+5, so it starts at 4 and has length 2. 6 is 1+2+3. 100 starts at 18 and has length 5. A power of two is rejected. n runs from 1 to 1000000. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https:...

What polite_split does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call polite_split to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why polite_split is rated Low
Even though polite_split 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 polite_split 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 polite_split, this is the rule to start with:
polite_split 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 polite_split call is checked against it from then on.
