Divide two numbers with error handling in output
AI agents call divide_numbers to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs arithmetic division on two numbers and returns the result. It is a pure computation with no side effects, data modification, or external operations. The 'error handling in output' phrase indicates it gracefully handles division by zero in the response rather than through exceptions. Equivalent to a read/query operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Divide two numbers with error handling in output. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for divide_numbers: 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 ContextForge MCP Gateway. Nothing to install.
divide_numbers 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 divide_numbers 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 divide_numbers. 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.
divide_numbers is provided by the ContextForge MCP Gateway MCP server (jrmatherly/mcp-context-forge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
divide_numbers is one line of ContextForge MCP Gateway's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
