What rad_to_deg does on TinyFn
AI agents call rad_to_deg 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
radians | number | Yes | Angle in radians |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why rad_to_deg is rated Low
This is a deterministic mathematical utility that takes a numeric input and returns a converted value. It performs no I/O, does not modify any data, does not execute external code, and has no destructive or financial implications. The narrow, well-defined scope and mathematical nature make misuse extremely unlikely to cause harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Convert radians to degrees' — a pure mathematical conversion function with no side effects, matching the 'Read' category definition of retrieving or transforming data without modifications.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs rad_to_deg 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 rad_to_deg, this is the rule to start with:
rad_to_deg 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 rad_to_deg call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about rad_to_deg
Convert radians to degrees. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
rad_to_deg accepts 1 parameter: radians. Required: radians. 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 rad_to_deg: 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.
rad_to_deg 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 rad_to_deg 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 rad_to_deg. 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.
rad_to_deg 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.
