- 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: 7 (1 required)
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `product` | string | no | Insulation product (e.g. batt, blown, spray) |
| `assembly` | string | no | Assembly type (e.g. wall, ceiling, floor) |
| `area_sqft` | number | yes | Area to insulate in square feet |
| `climate_zone` | string | no | IECC climate zone (e.g. 5) |
| `price_per_sqft` | number | no | Price per square foot in USD |
| `price_per_unit` | number | no | Price per unit/bag in USD |
| `target_r_value` | number | no | Target R-value |

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": "insulation",
    "arguments": {
      "area_sqft": 0
    }
  }
}
```

## 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 own 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,…"

## Use case

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.

## 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": {
    "insulation": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
