What deg_to_rad does on TinyFn
AI agents call deg_to_rad 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
degrees | number | Yes | Angle in degrees |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why deg_to_rad is rated Low
This is a pure mathematical utility that retrieves or computes a converted value without modifying state, creating data, executing external operations, or causing irreversible changes. It is deterministic and has no blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'deg_to_rad' and description 'Convert degrees to radians' indicate a simple mathematical conversion function with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs deg_to_rad 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 deg_to_rad, this is the rule to start with:
deg_to_rad 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 deg_to_rad call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about deg_to_rad
Convert degrees to radians. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
deg_to_rad accepts 1 parameter: degrees. Required: degrees. 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 deg_to_rad: 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.
deg_to_rad 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 deg_to_rad 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 deg_to_rad. 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.
deg_to_rad 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.
