What paint does on Gateway
AI agents call paint 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
coats | integer | — | Number of coats (default 2) |
width | number | Yes | Room width in feet |
height | number | Yes | Wall height in feet |
length | number | Yes | Room length in feet |
openings_sqft | number | — | Total area of doors/windows to subtract, in sqft |
include_ceiling | boolean | — | Include the ceiling area |
coverage_per_gal | number | — | Square feet covered per gallon (default ~350) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why paint is rated Low
This is a pure computational tool—it takes room dimensions and openings as inputs and returns calculated values (paint quantity and coat counts). It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or trigger external operations. It is analogous to other calculators in the server's suite and falls squarely into the Read category as a retrieval/calculation function with no state changes or consequences.
From the tool's definition The tool is described as a calculator that computes 'gallons of paint and number of coats for a room' based on input dimensions. It performs a mathematical calculation with no side effects, no data modification, and no external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs paint 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 paint, this is the rule to start with:
paint 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 paint call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about paint
Paint Calculator — Gallons of paint and number of coats for a room from wall dimensions, openings and coverage. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
paint accepts 7 parameters: coats, width, height, length, openings_sqft, include_ceiling, coverage_per_gal. Required: width, height, length. 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 paint: 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.
paint 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 paint 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 paint. 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.
paint 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.
