What divide does on TinyFn

AI agents call divide 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.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
a number Yes Dividend (number to be divided)
b number Yes Divisor (number to divide by)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why divide needs a policy

This is a deterministic mathematical function that retrieves a computation result without reading from databases, modifying state, executing arbitrary code, destroying data, or involving financial transactions. It fits the Read category as a retrieval/computation operation with no side effects. Severity is low because misuse of a basic arithmetic operation poses minimal risk regardless of context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'divide' with description 'Divide a by b' - a pure mathematical operation that takes two numeric inputs and returns a computed result with no side effects, no data modification, and no external operations.

Divide a by b. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does divide accept? +

divide accepts 2 parameters: a, b. Required: a, b. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on divide? +

Register the TinyFn MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for divide: 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.

What risk level is divide? +

divide is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit divide? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the divide 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.

How do I block divide completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for divide. 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.

What MCP server provides divide? +

divide 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.
