What convert_timestamp_ms does on TinyFn
AI agents call convert_timestamp_ms 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
timestamp_ms | integer | Yes | Unix timestamp (milliseconds) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why convert_timestamp_ms is rated Low
This is a pure deterministic conversion/computation tool that transforms a Unix timestamp in milliseconds to a human-readable date. It has no side effects, does not read from or write to any external system, and cannot cause any harm if misused beyond returning an incorrect date value.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs convert_timestamp_ms 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 convert_timestamp_ms, this is the rule to start with:
convert_timestamp_ms is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect TinyFn, apply this rule, and every convert_timestamp_ms call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about convert_timestamp_ms
Convert Unix timestamp (milliseconds) to date. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
convert_timestamp_ms accepts 1 parameter: timestamp_ms. Required: timestamp_ms. 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 convert_timestamp_ms: 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.
convert_timestamp_ms 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 convert_timestamp_ms 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 convert_timestamp_ms. 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.
convert_timestamp_ms 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.
