WHAT IT DOES

What calculator does on TypeScript MCP Server Boilerplate

AI agents invoke calculator to trigger actions in TypeScript MCP Server Boilerplate. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why calculator needs a policy

This tool executes arithmetic operations on inputs and returns results. While it's low-risk as a simple calculator, it runs computation logic (Execute) rather than merely reading stored data. Blast radius is very low as it performs only basic math with no side effects on external systems.

From the tool's definition calculator - 두 개의 숫자와 연산자를 입력받아 계산 결과를 반환합니다 (takes two numbers and an operator, returns calculation result)

Verdict

calculator Rate-limited

calculator stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

What risk level is calculator? +

calculator is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit calculator? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the calculator 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.

How do I block calculator completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for calculator. 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.
