What significant_figures does on GadgetHumans API Hub

AI agents call significant_figures 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 significant_figures is rated Low

This is a stateless mathematical utility that reads numeric input and returns a computed result without side effects. No state is modified, no external systems are affected, and no irreversible actions occur. It belongs in the Read category despite performing computation, as the operation is deterministic and non-destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool performs mathematical rounding operation ('Round a number to a specified number of significant figures'). No data creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations occur. Pure computational transformation of numeric input.

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

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