Why LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool needs a policy

This tool provides guidance and workflow information for LCA calculations—a read-only, informational operation. It retrieves or presents documentation/guidance without side effects, making it a Read category tool with low severity since it poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get the workflow' which is a retrieval operation. No modification, deletion, execution of arbitrary commands, or financial transactions are mentioned or implied.

POLICY

How to control LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and TianGong-LCA-MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool": {}
  }
}

LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register TianGong-LCA-MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool? +

Register the TianGong-LCA-MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool: 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 TianGong-LCA-MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool? +

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

Can I rate-limit LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool. 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 LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool? +

LCA_Calculation_Guidance_Tool is provided by the TianGong-LCA-MCP Server MCP server (linancn/tiangong-lca-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every TianGong-LCA-MCP Server tool call.

Start from TianGong-LCA-MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
