Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why ip_to_binary is rated Low

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ip_to_binary 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 ip_to_binary, this is the rule to start with:

ip_to_binary Allowed

ip_to_binary is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ip_to_binary": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect TinyFn, apply this rule, and every ip_to_binary call is checked against it from then on.
