multiply

What multiply does on TinyFn

AI agents call multiply to retrieve information from TinyFn without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Why multiply is rated Low

Multiplication is a deterministic computational function that reads input values and returns a result. It performs no write operations, does not execute code or shell commands, does not delete data, and does not involve financial transactions. While 'Read' typically applies to data retrieval, in the context of utility/function tools, pure computation with no side effects is the least severe category available.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'multiply' and description states 'Multiply two or more numbers together.' This is a pure mathematical operation that takes numeric inputs and returns a computed result with no side effects, no data modification, and no external operations.

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

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