What bmr_calc does on GadgetHumans API Hub
AI agents call bmr_calc to retrieve information from GadgetHumans API Hub without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why bmr_calc is rated Low
This is a pure computational tool that takes metabolic parameters as input and returns a calculated result. It retrieves no sensitive data, modifies nothing, executes no code or commands, and has no side effects. It falls squarely within the Read category as a query/calculation utility with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool performs a calculation using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to determine Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) based on input parameters. No data is stored, modified, deleted, or used to execute external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs bmr_calc safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GadgetHumans API Hub, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For bmr_calc, this is the rule to start with:
bmr_calc 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 GadgetHumans API Hub, apply this rule, and every bmr_calc call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about bmr_calc
Calculate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) using Mifflin-St Jeor equation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GadgetHumans API Hub MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GadgetHumans API Hub MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for bmr_calc: 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 GadgetHumans API Hub. Nothing to install.
bmr_calc 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 bmr_calc 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 bmr_calc. 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.
bmr_calc is provided by the GadgetHumans API Hub MCP server (pypi:gadgethumans-api-hub-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
