WHAT IT DOES

What calc_base does on GoCreative Agent API

AI agents call calc_base to retrieve information from GoCreative Agent API 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
`arg`	string	Yes

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why calc_base is rated Low

Even though calc_base only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs calc_base safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GoCreative Agent API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For calc_base, this is the rule to start with:

calc_base Allowed

calc_base is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "calc_base": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GoCreative Agent API, apply this rule, and every calc_base call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about calc_base

What does the calc_base tool do? +

Number base conversion — 'number-fromBase-toBase' (bases 2-36, e.g. 255-10-16). For dev/encoding agents. Cost: $0.005–$0.05 USDC on Base per call. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GoCreative Agent API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does calc_base accept? +

calc_base accepts 1 parameter: arg. Required: arg. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on calc_base? +

Register the GoCreative Agent API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for calc_base: 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 GoCreative Agent API. Nothing to install.

What risk level is calc_base? +

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

Can I rate-limit calc_base? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the calc_base 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.

How do I block calc_base completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for calc_base. 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 calc_base? +

calc_base is provided by the GoCreative Agent API MCP server (https://api.gocreativeai.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
