WHAT IT DOES

What multiply_numbers does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

There are no writes, executions, deletions, or financial operations involved. Misuse potential is negligible as it is a stateless calculation.

From the tool's definition 'Multiply two numbers with structured output' — pure arithmetic computation with no side effects, data modification, or external operations
