WHAT IT DOES

What epoch_convert does on Gateway

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`iso`	string	—	ISO-8601 datetime (gives epoch)
`epoch`	number	—	Unix seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC (gives ISO)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why epoch_convert is rated Low

This tool performs a pure mathematical/format conversion between two representations of time. It reads input values and returns converted output with no side effects, no data modification, and no external operations.

From the tool's definition Convert between a Unix epoch (seconds) and an ISO-8601 UTC timestamp

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs epoch_convert safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gateway, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For epoch_convert, this is the rule to start with:

epoch_convert Allowed

epoch_convert is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "epoch_convert": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Gateway, apply this rule, and every epoch_convert call is checked against it from then on.

What parameters does epoch_convert accept? +

epoch_convert accepts 2 parameters: iso, epoch. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on epoch_convert? +

Register the Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for epoch_convert: 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 Gateway. Nothing to install.

What risk level is epoch_convert? +

epoch_convert is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit epoch_convert? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the epoch_convert 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.

How do I block epoch_convert completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for epoch_convert. 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.

What MCP server provides epoch_convert? +

epoch_convert is provided by the Gateway MCP server (https://wingmanprotocol.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
