convert_timestamp_ms · TinyFn MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What convert_timestamp_ms does on TinyFn

AI agents use convert_timestamp_ms to create or update resources in TinyFn — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TinyFn environment.

PARAMETERS

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`timestamp_ms`	integer	Yes	Unix timestamp (milliseconds)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why convert_timestamp_ms needs a policy

An AI agent can call convert_timestamp_ms faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in TinyFn by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Verdict

convert_timestamp_ms Rate-limited

convert_timestamp_ms stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
