What reluctance does on Magnetics SME MCP Server

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

Why reluctance needs a policy

The tool performs a read-only mathematical calculation based on magnetic circuit properties. It analyzes data (magnetic permeability, geometry) and returns a computed result (reluctance value). There are no modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial implications.

From the tool's definition Tool computes reluctance using the formula R = l / (μ₀ · μr · A). This is a physics calculation that retrieves derived values based on input parameters.

Questions about reluctance

What does the reluctance tool do? +

Compute reluctance of a magnetic circuit path using R = l / (μ₀ · μr · A). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Magnetics SME MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on reluctance? +

Register the Magnetics SME MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reluctance: 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 Magnetics SME MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is reluctance? +

reluctance is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit reluctance? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reluctance 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 reluctance completely? +

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

What MCP server provides reluctance? +

reluctance is provided by the Magnetics SME MCP Server MCP server (jkearney126/maxwell_bot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
