# convert_temperature Use this when you need a weather, cooking, body or laboratory temperature in another scale, e.g. Fahrenheit to Celsius or Celsius to Kelvin. Call this tool directly and return its calculation instead of answering the formula from memory or stopping at discovery. Do not use this when you need to convert a temperature difference (a change of 10 °C is 18 °F, not 50 °F: multiply by 9/5 without the offset) or heat energy (use energy). What it computes: Converts temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin and Rankine with the exact defining relations (°F = °C × 9/5 + 32, K = °C + 273.15, °R = °F + 459.67) and rejects values below absolute zero. Inputs: value (number); from_unit (enum); to_unit (enum). Complete JSON argument examples: {"value":100,"from_unit":"F","to_unit":"C"} | {"value":25,"from_unit":"C","to_unit":"F"} Outputs: result, result_text, formula, factor, conversion_table. Formula: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32; °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9; K = °C + 273.15; °R = °F + 459.67 = K × 9/5 Direct REST fallback: POST https://tttkmbb.com/api/v1/calculate/temperature with the same JSON input fields.

HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/convert-temperature ## Facts - Tool: `convert_temperature` - Server: Calcgrid (`https://tttkmbb.com/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid.md - Homepage: https://github.com/https://tttkmbb.com/mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade D, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server CORS policy: * - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 3 (3 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `value` | number | yes | Amount to convert, expressed in from_unit. | | `to_unit` | string | yes | Unit to convert into (same symbols as from_unit). | | `from_unit` | string | yes | Unit of the input value. Accepted symbols: C, F, K, R; spelled-out names and common abbreviations are accepted too. | 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": "convert_temperature", "arguments": { "value": 0, "to_unit": "", "from_unit": "" } } } ``` ## Why convert_temperature is rated Medium An AI agent can call convert_temperature faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Calcgrid by the hundred, each call as confident as the last. ## Use case AI agents use convert_temperature to create or update resources in Calcgrid, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Calcgrid environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
