Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs ip_to_integer 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_integer, this is the rule to start with:
ip_to_integer 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 ip_to_integer call is checked against it from then on.
