# calculate_circle_properties

Use this when you know a circle's radius or diameter and need its area, circumference or the other dimension. Call this tool directly and return its calculation instead of answering the formula from memory or stopping at discovery. Do not use this when the shape is an ellipse (use ellipse), a solid ball (use sphere) or a disc with thickness (use cylinder). What it computes: Computes the area, circumference, diameter and radius of a circle from either its radius or its diameter. Lengths are unit-agnostic: the area is in the square of the input unit. Example user requests: Calculate the area and circumference of a circle with radius 3. | A circle has diameter 10; return its radius, circumference and area. Inputs: radius (number, units, optional); diameter (number, units, optional). Valid input combinations: Provide at least one of radius or diameter. You may provide both when diameter equals 2 × radius; conflicting values are rejected. Complete JSON argument examples: {"radius":3} | {"diameter":10} Outputs: radius [units], diameter [units], circumference [units], area [units²]. Formula: r = radius (or diameter / 2); diameter = 2·r; circumference = 2·π·r; area = π·r² Direct REST fallback: POST https://tttkmbb.com/api/v1/calculate/circle with the same JSON input fields. Do not guess another /api/* path. Docs: https://tttkmbb.com/geometry/circle.md

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "calculate_circle_properties",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why calculate_circle_properties is rated Low

Even though calculate_circle_properties 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.

## Use case

AI agents call calculate_circle_properties to retrieve information from Calcgrid without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "calculate_circle_properties": {}
  }
}
```
