Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `framing`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/com-wingmanprotocol-agent-gateway/framing

## Facts

- Server: Gateway (`https://wingmanprotocol.com/mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/com-wingmanprotocol-agent-gateway.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/WingmanProtocol-Agent-Gateway/wingman-agent-gateway
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server auth posture: open
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 8 (2 required)
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `header_size` | string | no | Header lumber size (e.g. 2x10) |
| `header_span` | number | no | Header span in feet |
| `wall_height` | number | yes | Wall height in feet |
| `wall_length` | number | no | Single wall length in feet — used only if total_wall_lf is omitted |
| `cost_per_bdft` | number | no | Lumber cost per board-foot in USD |
| `total_wall_lf` | number | yes | Linear feet of wall to frame — studs AND plates are sized for this full run |
| `openings_count` | integer | no | Number of door/window openings |
| `stud_spacing_in` | number | no | Stud spacing on-center in inches (default 16) |

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": "framing",
    "arguments": {
      "wall_height": 0,
      "total_wall_lf": 0
    }
  }
}
```

## Why framing is rated Low

This is a calculator that retrieves or computes derived data (framing material counts and costs) based on user inputs. It performs calculations with no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute external operations. No data is persisted or irreversibly changed. The tool is purely computational and informational, fitting the Read category as a data retrieval/query tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'framing' and description 'Wall Framing Calculator — Stud, plate and header counts plus board-feet and cost for a framed wall' indicate a calculation tool that computes material estimates and costs from input parameters."

## Use case

AI agents call framing 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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