What irr does on Gateway
AI agents call irr 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
cash_flows | array | Yes | Array of cash flows with at least one sign change |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why irr is rated Low
This tool performs a pure mathematical/financial calculation (computing IRR via bisection method) on input cash flows. It does not move money, execute code, modify data, or delete anything — it only computes and returns a numerical result. Despite being in the financial domain, it is a read/calculate-only operation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs irr 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 irr, this is the rule to start with:
irr 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 irr call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about irr
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Calculator — The discount rate where NPV=0 for a cash-flow series (solved by bisection). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
irr accepts 1 parameter: cash_flows. Required: cash_flows. 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 irr: 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.
irr 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 irr 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 irr. 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.
irr 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.
