## Why cups_to_milliliters is rated Low

This is a pure calculation/conversion tool that reads input parameters and returns a computed result. It performs no data modification, execution of external operations, deletions, or financial transactions. The tool has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as the worst outcome is returning an incorrect unit conversion value. Classified as Read with low severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'cups_to_milliliters' and description 'Convert US cups to milliliters' indicate a deterministic unit conversion function that retrieves/returns converted values without side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call cups_to_milliliters 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches TinyFn:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "cups_to_milliliters": {}
  }
}
