What insulation does on Gateway
AI agents call insulation 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
product | string | — | Insulation product (e.g. batt, blown, spray) |
assembly | string | — | Assembly type (e.g. wall, ceiling, floor) |
area_sqft | number | Yes | Area to insulate in square feet |
climate_zone | string | — | IECC climate zone (e.g. 5) |
price_per_sqft | number | — | Price per square foot in USD |
price_per_unit | number | — | Price per unit/bag in USD |
target_r_value | number | — | Target R-value |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why insulation is rated Low
This is a calculator that retrieves or computes estimates based on user inputs. It reads input parameters and returns calculated results (material quantity and cost estimates). There are no side effects, data modifications, code execution, deletions, or financial commitments. It falls squarely into the Read category as a computational lookup/reference tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'insulation' and description 'Insulation Calculator — Material quantity and cost to hit a target R-value' indicate a calculation/query function that computes material quantities and costs based on input parameters (assembly type, climate zone,…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs insulation 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 insulation, this is the rule to start with:
insulation 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 insulation call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about insulation
Insulation Calculator — Material quantity and cost to hit a target R-value for a given assembly and climate zone. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
insulation accepts 7 parameters: product, assembly, area_sqft, climate_zone, price_per_sqft, price_per_unit, target_r_value. Required: area_sqft. 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 insulation: 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.
insulation 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 insulation 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 insulation. 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.
insulation 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.
