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

|---|---|---|---|
n | integer | Yes | Root degree |
number | number | Yes | Number to find root of |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This is a deterministic mathematical function that retrieves/computes a result based on input parameters. It performs no writes, deletions, code execution, or financial transactions. It is consistent with the server's stated purpose of providing 'math, conversion, validation, hashing, encoding, date/time' tools for AI agents.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'nth_root' and description 'Calculate the nth root of a number' indicate a pure mathematical computation with no side effects, state changes, or external operations.

Calculate the nth root of a number. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
nth_root accepts 2 parameters: n, number. Required: n, number. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the TinyFn MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for nth_root: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches TinyFn. Nothing to install.
nth_root is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the nth_root rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for nth_root. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
nth_root is provided by the TinyFn MCP server (https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/all/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
nth_root is one line of TinyFn's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
