```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

```

## Why util_timestamp_convert is rated Low

This tool performs a pure data transformation/conversion operation with no side effects — it takes a timestamp in one format and returns it in another. It does not read from or write to any external system. Severity is low as misuse has minimal blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "Convert between timestamp formats: Unix epoch, ISO 8601, and human-readable"

## Use case

AI agents call util_timestamp_convert to retrieve information from Delx MCP Server 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 Delx MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "util_timestamp_convert": {}
  }
}
```
