Why is_triangular is rated Low
This is a deterministic mathematical utility that performs a read-only check on numeric input. It does not modify, delete, execute external operations, or commit financial obligations. It simply returns a boolean result indicating whether a number satisfies the triangular number property. The tool has no capability to affect system state or data.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'is_triangular' and description states it 'Check if a number is a triangular number' — a pure mathematical validation function that retrieves or queries a property of input data with no side effects.

The rule that runs is_triangular 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_triangular, this is the rule to start with:
is_triangular 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_triangular call is checked against it from then on.
