- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server auth posture: open
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 4 (1 required)
- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `cost` | number | yes | Unit cost in USD |
| `price` | number | no | Selling price in USD (provide this OR margin_pct OR markup_pct) |
| `margin_pct` | number | no | Target net margin percent |
| `markup_pct` | number | no | Target markup percent on cost |

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": "margin",
    "arguments": {
      "cost": 0
    }
  }
}
```

## Why margin is rated Low

This is a pure calculation tool that takes numeric inputs and returns computed financial metrics. It performs read-only mathematical operations with no side effects on stored data or external systems. While the inputs relate to pricing and profit, the tool itself does not move money, create financial obligations, or modify any persistent state—it simply performs arithmetic and returns results.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it 'Solve[s] selling price, profit, margin% and markup%' — it computes and returns calculated values based on input parameters (cost and one known value)."

## Use case

AI agents call margin 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": {
    "margin": {}
  }
}
```

## 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`
