Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why cidr_to_netmask is rated Low

This tool performs a straightforward data conversion operation (CIDR notation to subnet mask format), common in networking utilities. It retrieves no external data, modifies nothing, executes no code, and causes no state changes. It fits the 'Read' category as a data transformation with no side effects. Severity is low because misuse poses no security risk—the output is always a valid subnet mask regardless of input.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cidr_to_netmask' and description 'Convert CIDR prefix length to subnet mask' indicate a pure conversion/transformation function with no side effects. This is a deterministic mathematical utility that reads input and returns transformed data.

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

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