What chinese_remainder does on UnClick
AI agents call chinese_remainder to retrieve information from UnClick 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
moduli | array | Yes | Array of moduli (positive integers) |
remainders | array | Yes | Array of remainders |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why chinese_remainder is rated Low
Even though chinese_remainder 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
The rule that runs chinese_remainder safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For chinese_remainder, this is the rule to start with:
chinese_remainder 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 UnClick, apply this rule, and every chinese_remainder call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about chinese_remainder
Solve simultaneous congruences using the generalised Chinese Remainder Theorem. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UnClick MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
chinese_remainder accepts 2 parameters: moduli, remainders. Required: moduli, remainders. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the UnClick MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for chinese_remainder: 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 UnClick. Nothing to install.
chinese_remainder 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 chinese_remainder 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 chinese_remainder. 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.
chinese_remainder is provided by the UnClick MCP server (@unclick/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
