Calculates the tangent of an angle given in radians.
AI agents call calculate_tangent 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 read-only mathematical calculation (tangent function) on provided input. It retrieves a computed result without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It falls clearly into the Read category as it is a stateless computation with no ability to affect system state or data persistence.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'calculate_tangent' and description 'Calculates the tangent of an angle given in radians' indicate a pure mathematical computation with no side effects, data modification, or external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Calculates the tangent of an angle given in radians. 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_tangent: 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_tangent 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_tangent 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_tangent. 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_tangent 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.
