What matrix_chain_order does on UnClick
AI agents call matrix_chain_order 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
dimensions | array | Yes | Array of matrix dimensions. For N matrices, provide N+1 values: [r1, c1/r2, c2/r3, ..., cN] |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why matrix_chain_order is rated Low
This is a pure computational/mathematical utility that retrieves or derives information from input data. It performs no side effects, does not execute arbitrary code or external commands, does not modify any data, and does not create, delete, or move resources. The operation is deterministic and stateless, making it a Read category tool with low severity.
From the tool's definition The tool 'matrix_chain_order' performs a computational analysis to 'find the optimal parenthesization for matrix chain multiplication to minimize scalar multiplications.' This is a read-only algorithmic computation that takes input parameters and returns an…

The rule that runs matrix_chain_order 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 matrix_chain_order, this is the rule to start with:
matrix_chain_order 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 matrix_chain_order call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about matrix_chain_order
Find the optimal parenthesization for matrix chain multiplication to minimize scalar multiplications. It is categorised as a Read tool in the UnClick MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
matrix_chain_order accepts 1 parameter: dimensions. Required: dimensions. 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 matrix_chain_order: 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.
matrix_chain_order 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 matrix_chain_order 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 matrix_chain_order. 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.
matrix_chain_order 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.
