calculate_percentile

What calculate_percentile does on TinyFn

AI agents call calculate_percentile to retrieve information from TinyFn without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why calculate_percentile is rated Low

This is a deterministic mathematical function that computes a statistical measure (percentile) from provided data. It performs no I/O beyond returning a result, does not execute code or commands, and causes no data modification or destruction. It belongs in the Read category as a data derivation tool. Severity is low because misuse poses minimal risk—at worst, incorrect statistical analysis.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'calculate_percentile' and description 'Calculate a specific percentile' indicate a pure computational operation that retrieves or derives a statistical value from input data without modifying, executing external operations, or creating side effects.

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

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