What pollard_rho does on UnClick
AI agents invoke pollard_rho to trigger actions in UnClick. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why pollard_rho is rated High
This tool executes a mathematical algorithm (Pollard's rho factorization combined with Miller-Rabin primality testing) on a given integer. It performs computation rather than reading stored data, writing data, or performing destructive/financial actions. The blast radius is low as it is purely a number-crunching operation with no side effects on external systems or data.
From the tool's definition 'Factor an integer using Pollard's rho with Miller-Rabin primality testing' — runs a computational algorithm (integer factorization) on provided input
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs pollard_rho 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 pollard_rho, this is the rule to start with:
pollard_rho stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 pollard_rho call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about pollard_rho
Factor an integer using Pollard's rho with Miller-Rabin primality testing. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the UnClick MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
pollard_rho accepts 1 parameter: value. Required: value. 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 pollard_rho: 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.
pollard_rho is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pollard_rho 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 pollard_rho. 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.
pollard_rho 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.
