What gray_code does on UnClick
AI agents call gray_code 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
n | number | Yes | Bit width (1-20) |
value | number | — | Optional value to convert (omit for full sequence) |
to_gray | boolean | — | If true convert binary to Gray; if false convert Gray to binary (default true) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why gray_code is rated Low
Gray code conversion and generation are read-only mathematical transformations. The tool retrieves or computes output based on input parameters without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any external operations. This is a straightforward utility function with no security implications beyond potential misuse in unrelated contexts.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it converts between binary and Gray code, or generates n-bit Gray code sequences. These are purely computational/mathematical operations with no data modification, deletion, or external side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs gray_code 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 gray_code, this is the rule to start with:
gray_code 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 gray_code call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about gray_code
Convert between binary and Gray code, or generate n-bit Gray code sequences. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UnClick MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
gray_code accepts 3 parameters: n, value, to_gray. Required: n. 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 gray_code: 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.
gray_code 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 gray_code 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 gray_code. 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.
gray_code 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.
