AI agents call base_convert 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
number | string | Yes | Number to convert |
to_base | integer | Yes | Target base |
from_base | integer | Yes | Source base |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs a pure mathematical conversion between numerical bases (e.g., binary, decimal, hex). It is purely deterministic and read-only with no side effects, no data modification, and no external operations.
From the tool's definition Convert a number between different bases
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Convert a number between different bases. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
base_convert accepts 3 parameters: number, to_base, from_base. Required: number, to_base, from_base. 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 base_convert: 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.
base_convert 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 base_convert 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 base_convert. 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.
base_convert 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.
base_convert 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.
