AI agents call unflatten_json 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.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
separator | string | — | Key separator |
json_string | string | Yes | Flattened JSON string |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool performs a deterministic data transformation (converting a flat JSON structure to a nested one) with no side effects, no data persistence, no execution of code, and no destructive operations. It is a pure read/transform operation analogous to encoding or conversion utilities on this server.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Unflatten a flat JSON object back to nested structure. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
unflatten_json accepts 2 parameters: separator, json_string. Required: json_string. 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 unflatten_json: 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.
unflatten_json 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 unflatten_json 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 unflatten_json. 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.
unflatten_json 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.
unflatten_json 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.
