Why add_business_days is rated Medium
This tool creates a modified date value based on input parameters. While it doesn't persist changes to a database or file system (based on the deterministic nature of TinyFn's toolset), the operation logically constitutes a write-like transformation where a date is computed and returned in altered form.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add business days to a date', which modifies a date value by calculating and appending business days to it.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_business_days safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and TinyFn, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_business_days, this is the rule to start with:
add_business_days stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect TinyFn, apply this rule, and every add_business_days call is checked against it from then on.
