Adds two numbers.
AI agents call calculate_add to retrieve information from Calculator without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple addition of two numbers. It only computes a result and returns it, with no data storage, external calls, or system modifications. This is a stateless read/compute operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'calculate_add' and description 'Adds two numbers' — pure arithmetic computation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Adds two numbers. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Calculator MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Calculator MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for calculate_add: 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 Calculator. Nothing to install.
calculate_add 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 calculate_add 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 calculate_add. 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.
calculate_add is provided by the Calculator MCP server (mvavassori/calculator-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
