WHAT IT DOES

What distance_2d does on GadgetHumans API Hub

AI agents call distance_2d 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.

RISK

Why distance_2d is rated Low

This is a pure computational utility that takes numeric inputs (two points in 2D space) and returns a calculated mathematical result. It has no capability to modify data, delete data, execute arbitrary code, move money, or trigger external operations. It is a read-only mathematical function with no side effects, making it the lowest-risk category.

From the tool's definition The tool 'distance_2d' performs a mathematical calculation (Euclidean distance) on provided coordinates. The description indicates it 'Calculate[s]' distance, which is a query operation that retrieves a computed result without modifying any data or triggering…

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs distance_2d 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 distance_2d, this is the rule to start with:

distance_2d Allowed

distance_2d is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "distance_2d": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GadgetHumans API Hub, apply this rule, and every distance_2d call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about distance_2d

What does the distance_2d tool do? +

Calculate Euclidean distance between two points in 2D space. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GadgetHumans API Hub MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on distance_2d? +

Register the GadgetHumans API Hub MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for distance_2d: 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.

What risk level is distance_2d? +

distance_2d is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit distance_2d? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the distance_2d 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.

How do I block distance_2d completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for distance_2d. 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.

What MCP server provides distance_2d? +

distance_2d 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.
