# count_uk_working_days Use this when you need a 2024-2028 UK SLA, payroll, project or delivery-day count and the selected division's bank holidays must be excluded. 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 only elapsed calendar days, a local/employer/market calendar, another jurisdiction or dates outside 2024-2028. What it computes: Counts working and non-working dates in England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland using the official GOV.UK bank-holiday list instead of a weekday-only approximation. Example user requests: How many England and Wales working days are there from 24 December 2026 through 4 January 2027? | Count Northern Ireland business days from 10 to 14 July 2026 inclusive. | How many Scottish working days fall between 1 and 20 June 2026? Inputs: start_date (date); end_date (date); include_start_date (boolean, optional); include_end_date (boolean, optional); division (enum, optional). Complete JSON argument examples: {"start_date":"2026-12-24","end_date":"2027-01-04","include_start_date":true,"include_end_date":true,"division":"england-and-wales"} | {"start_date":"2026-07-10","end_date":"2026-07-14","include_start_date":true,"include_end_date":true,"division":"northern-ireland"} Outputs: division, division_name, normalized_start_date, normalized_end_date, working_days [working days], non_working_days [days], calendar_days_counted [days], bank_holidays_counted, dataset_version, coverage_start, coverage_end, source_snapshot_sha256. Formula: for each included date: working_days += is_working_day(date); non_working_days += not is_working_day(date) Direct REST fallback: POST https://tttkmbb.com/api/v1/calculate/uk-working-days-between with the same JSON input fields.

HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/count-uk-working-days ## Facts - Tool: `count_uk_working_days` - Server: Calcgrid (`https://tttkmbb.com/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid.md - Homepage: https://github.com/https://tttkmbb.com/mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade D, identity unverified - Server auth posture: open - Server CORS policy: * - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 5 (2 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `division` | string | no | GOV.UK bank-holiday division. England and Wales share one official list; Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate lists. | | `end_date` | string | yes | Second range endpoint in YYYY-MM-DD format, within 2024-2028. | | `start_date` | string | yes | First range endpoint in YYYY-MM-DD format, within 2024-2028. | | `include_end_date` | boolean | no | Whether the normalized later endpoint participates in the count. | | `include_start_date` | boolean | no | Whether the normalized earlier endpoint participates in the count. | 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": "count_uk_working_days", "arguments": { "end_date": "", "start_date": "" } } } ``` ## Why count_uk_working_days is rated Low Even though count_uk_working_days 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 count_uk_working_days 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": { "count_uk_working_days": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Calcgrid (252) - `calculate_bazi_four_pillars` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-bazi-four-pillars.md - `run_calculator` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/run-calculator.md - `calculate_ab_test_significance` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-ab-test-significance.md - `calculate_age` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-age.md - `calculate_bmi` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-bmi.md - `calculate_bmr` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-bmr.md - `calculate_circle_properties` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-circle-properties.md - `calculate_compound_interest` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-compound-interest.md - `calculate_depth_of_field` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-depth-of-field.md - `calculate_haversine_distance` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-haversine-distance.md - `calculate_kinetic_energy` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-kinetic-energy.md - `calculate_loan_payment` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-loan-payment.md - `calculate_molar_mass` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-molar-mass.md - `calculate_mortgage_payment` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-mortgage-payment.md - `calculate_percentage` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-percentage.md - `calculate_percentage_change` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-percentage-change.md - `calculate_running_pace` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-running-pace.md - `calculate_subnet` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-subnet.md - `calculate_t_test` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-t-test.md - `calculate_tdee` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/calculate-tdee.md - `cast_plum_blossom_hexagram` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/cast-plum-blossom-hexagram.md - `check_ar_working_day` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/check-ar-working-day.md - `check_at_working_day` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/check-at-working-day.md - `check_australia_working_day` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/check-australia-working-day.md - `check_bd_working_day` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/check-bd-working-day.md - `check_be_working_day` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/check-be-working-day.md - `check_bg_working_day` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/check-bg-working-day.md - `check_br_working_day` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/check-br-working-day.md - `check_canada_federal_working_day` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/check-canada-federal-working-day.md - `check_ch_working_day` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid/check-ch-working-day.md - …and 222 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/com-tttkmbb-calcgrid.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
