Why is_even is rated Low

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'is_even' and description states it 'Check[s] if a number is even.' This is a pure query operation that returns a boolean result based on input without modifying any state, creating side effects, or performing any actions beyond simple arithmetic…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs is_even 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 is_even, this is the rule to start with:
is_even 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 is_even call is checked against it from then on.
