value | number | Yes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why convert_length is rated Medium
An AI agent can call convert_length faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in UnClick by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs convert_length 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 convert_length, this is the rule to start with:
convert_length stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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 convert_length call is checked against it from then on.
