AI agents call compare 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
a | number | Yes | First number |
b | number | Yes | Second number |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This is a pure deterministic comparison function that performs a mathematical check between two inputs and returns a result (e.g., greater than, less than, equal). It cannot modify data, execute external code, delete anything, or cause financial impacts. It is a simple read operation matching the 'Read' category definition.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'compare' with description 'Compare two numbers' indicates a read-only operation that retrieves or queries the relationship between two numeric values with no side effects, modifications, or external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Compare two numbers (e.g., is 0.9 greater than 0.11?). It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
compare accepts 2 parameters: a, b. Required: a, b. 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 compare: 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.
compare 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 compare 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 compare. 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.
compare 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.
compare 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.
