What carbon_footprint_calculator does on Gapup Mcp
AI agents call carbon_footprint_calculator to retrieve information from Gapup Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why carbon_footprint_calculator is rated Low
This tool performs calculations and analysis based on input data, returning reports and assessments. It reads/computes information (emissions breakdown, reduction levers, reporting readiness) without creating, modifying, deleting, or moving financial assets. The output is informational/analytical, making this a Read-category tool.

The rule that runs carbon_footprint_calculator safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gapup Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For carbon_footprint_calculator, this is the rule to start with:
carbon_footprint_calculator 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 Gapup Mcp, apply this rule, and every carbon_footprint_calculator call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about carbon_footprint_calculator
Calculate a company's greenhouse-gas footprint under the GHG Protocol (Scope 1 + 2 + 3, in tCO2eq, tier-2 accuracy ±20%). Returns the emissions breakdown, hotspot identification, 5-8 reduction levers each with capex and payback, an SBTi-aligned reduction trajectory over 5-25 years, the 15 Scope-3 categories in detail, and CSRD/ESRS reporting readiness. When to use this tool: the user needs a carbon assessment for CSRD compliance pre-audit, green-finance access, or supplier ESG scorecards. Inputs: the company profile and its activity data. Delivered by Émilie, the AI Sustainability lead of the Gapup portfolio. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gapup Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
carbon_footprint_calculator accepts 8 parameters: async, focus, company, perimeter, scope1Sources, scope2Sources, reductionTargets, scope3Activities. Required: company, perimeter, scope2Sources. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Gapup MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for carbon_footprint_calculator: 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 Gapup Mcp. Nothing to install.
carbon_footprint_calculator 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 carbon_footprint_calculator 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 carbon_footprint_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.
carbon_footprint_calculator is provided by the Gapup MCP server (https://mcp.gapup.io/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
