What dot_product does on UnClick
AI agents call dot_product 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
a | array | Yes | First vector. |
b | array | Yes | Second vector (same length). |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why dot_product is rated Low
This is a pure mathematical computation function. It retrieves/calculates values from vector inputs and returns results without creating, modifying, deleting data or executing code with real-world effects. It poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool computes and returns mathematical properties (magnitude, angle, orthogonality) of input vectors with no side effects, data modification, or external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs dot_product 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 dot_product, this is the rule to start with:
dot_product 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 dot_product call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about dot_product
Compute the dot product of two vectors. Returns magnitude, angle, and orthogonality check. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UnClick MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
dot_product accepts 2 parameters: a, b. Required: a, b. 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 dot_product: 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.
dot_product 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 dot_product 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 dot_product. 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.
dot_product 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.
