Why vat_calc is rated Low
This is a read-only computational tool. It takes numeric inputs (price, VAT rate) and returns calculated values. No data is created, modified, or deleted; no code is executed; no money moves; no irreversible actions occur. It belongs in the Read category with low severity due to minimal blast radius—misuse would only produce incorrect calculations, not data loss, unauthorized access, or financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'vat_calc' with description 'Calculate VAT (Value Added Tax) amounts and totals' indicates a pure calculation utility that reads input values and returns computed results without modifying any data, executing external code, or triggering financial…

The rule that runs vat_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 vat_calc, this is the rule to start with:
vat_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 vat_calc call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vat_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 vat_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.
vat_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.
