AI agents call array_repeat to retrieve information from TinyFn without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
items | string | Yes | Comma-separated items |
times | integer | Yes | Times to repeat |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs a deterministic computation (repeating an array) and returns a result. It does not read from external sources, write data, execute commands, or have any side effects. It is a pure functional transformation, fitting the Read category as the closest match for a stateless, non-destructive operation.
From the tool's definition 'Repeat an array n times' — pure transformation/computation with no side effects
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Repeat an array n times. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
array_repeat accepts 2 parameters: items, times. Required: items, times. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the TinyFn MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for array_repeat: 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 TinyFn. Nothing to install.
array_repeat is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the array_repeat 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 array_repeat. 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.
array_repeat is provided by the TinyFn MCP server (https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/all/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
array_repeat is one line of TinyFn's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
