pallet_fitting_calculator

Calculate how many boxes fit on a pallet (layers, rotation, weight limits). This tool determines the optimal arrangement of identical boxes on a pallet, accounting for: - Layer-by-layer stacking up to the max height - 90-degree rotation to find the best fit - Weight capacity limits - Volume util...

Part of the FreightUtils MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call pallet_fitting_calculator to retrieve information from FreightUtils MCP Server without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though pallet_fitting_calculator only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the pallet_fitting_calculator tool do? +

Calculate how many boxes fit on a pallet (layers, rotation, weight limits). This tool determines the optimal arrangement of identical boxes on a pallet, accounting for: - Layer-by-layer stacking up to the max height - 90-degree rotation to find the best fit - Weight capacity limits - Volume utilisation percentage Use this tool when you need to: - Plan pallet loading for warehouse/shipping - Calculate total boxes per pallet - Check if weight limits will be reached before space runs out. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FreightUtils MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on pallet_fitting_calculator? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for pallet_fitting_calculator. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the FreightUtils MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is pallet_fitting_calculator? +

pallet_fitting_calculator is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit pallet_fitting_calculator? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pallet_fitting_calculator rule in your Intercept 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.

How do I block pallet_fitting_calculator completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for pallet_fitting_calculator. 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.

What MCP server provides pallet_fitting_calculator? +

pallet_fitting_calculator is provided by the FreightUtils MCP Server MCP server (freightutils-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
