# char_count Count characters including/excluding spaces and non-printable chars. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `char_count`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/char-count ## Facts - Tool: `char_count` - Server: GadgetHumans API Hub (`pypi:gadgethumans-api-hub-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub.md - Install: `npx -y pypi:gadgethumans-api-hub-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/scotia1973-bot/api-hub - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "char_count", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why char_count is rated Low This tool performs a straightforward read-only analysis of text data. It returns counts of characters under different criteria (with/without spaces, non-printable chars) but does not modify, execute code, delete data, or create financial obligations. Even if an AI agent misuses it by counting malicious input, the operation itself is benign and produces only informational output. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'char_count' and description state it 'Count characters' with various filtering options. This is a query/analysis operation with no side effects—it only retrieves statistics about input text." ## Use case AI agents call char_count 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches GadgetHumans API Hub: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "char_count": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on GadgetHumans API Hub (310) - `clean_whitespace` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/clean-whitespace.md - `gravitational_force_calc` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/gravitational-force-calc.md - `atbash_cipher` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/atbash-cipher.md - `caesar_cipher` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/caesar-cipher.md - `crawl_website` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/crawl-website.md - `electrical_calc` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/electrical-calc.md - `evaluate_math` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/evaluate-math.md - `filter_data` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/filter-data.md - `fn` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/fn.md - `generate_password` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/generate-password.md - `hash_text` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/hash-text.md - `http_client` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/http-client.md - `ini_to_json` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/ini-to-json.md - `matrix_operations` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/matrix-operations.md - `momentum_calc` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/momentum-calc.md - `pressure_calc` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/pressure-calc.md - `ratio_calc` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/ratio-calc.md - `test_regex` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/test-regex.md - `web_scrape` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/web-scrape.md - `agent_memory` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/agent-memory.md - `generate_ulids` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/generate-ulids.md - `alternating_case` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/alternating-case.md - `amortization_calc` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/amortization-calc.md - `anagram_check` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/anagram-check.md - `analyze_tone` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/analyze-tone.md - `analyze_url` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/analyze-url.md - `angle_convert` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/angle-convert.md - `area_convert` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/area-convert.md - `ascii_table` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/ascii-table.md - `auto_loan_calc` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub/auto-loan-calc.md - …and 280 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-scotia1973-bot-api-hub.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
