What ideal_weight does on Gateway
AI agents call ideal_weight 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
sex | string | — | 'male' or 'female' (default male) |
height_cm | number | Yes | Height in centimetres |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why ideal_weight is rated Low
This is a read-only calculator tool that takes a height parameter and returns computed ideal weight values based on established clinical formulas. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The output depends deterministically on input with no irreversible consequences or data persistence effects.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it returns 'ideal body weight for a height by the four standard clinical formulas' — a pure calculation that retrieves computed values with no side effects, no data modification, and no external operations triggered.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs ideal_weight 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 ideal_weight, this is the rule to start with:
ideal_weight is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Gateway, apply this rule, and every ideal_weight call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about ideal_weight
Ideal Body Weight — Ideal body weight for a height by the four standard clinical formulas (Devine, Robinson, Miller, Hamwi) plus their average, in kilograms. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
ideal_weight accepts 2 parameters: sex, height_cm. Required: height_cm. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ideal_weight: 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.
ideal_weight is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ideal_weight 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ideal_weight. 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.
ideal_weight 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.
