What workbook_range_digest does on Ainumbers Mcp Apps
AI agents call workbook_range_digest to retrieve information from Ainumbers Mcp Apps without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cells | object | Yes | Map of A1-style cell ref (e.g. "B2") to raw value -- a formula string starts with "=" (e.g. "=SUM(A1:A3)"), anything else is a literal. |
range | string | Yes | A1-style cell or range reference to digest, e.g. "B2" or "B2:D9". |
semantics | string | — | Free-text pointer describing what this range means to the consuming policy_parameters. |
provenance | object | — | Optional provenance metadata, only used when as_artifact is true. Never affects execution_hash. |
as_artifact | boolean | — | When true, returns a full OpenChainGraph v0.4 artifact (policy_parameters/output_payload/execution_hash/provenance) via the same exportArtifact() path as the to |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why workbook_range_digest is rated Low
Tool reads and digests spreadsheet cell values without modifying data or executing arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Spreadsheet-range digest only; evaluates supplied cells; computes canonical values_digest
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs workbook_range_digest safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ainumbers Mcp Apps, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For workbook_range_digest, this is the rule to start with:
workbook_range_digest is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ainumbers Mcp Apps, apply this rule, and every workbook_range_digest call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about workbook_range_digest
Spreadsheet-range digest only; NOT the general artifact emitter (use emit_chaingraph_artifact to wrap arbitrary computation output — this tool's as_artifact mode covers whole-sheet workbook runs only). Evaluates the supplied cells (same evaluator as workbook_evaluate) and computes a canonical values_digest over one A1-style range (e.g. "B2:D9") -- the exact executionHash(values, {}) path the rest of OCG uses, per chaingraph/workbook/INPUT-MANIFEST.md (WB-2). Returns one ranges[] fragment of the Spreadsheet Input Manifest schema; assemble the full manifest (source.csv_digest, produced_by/produced_at) around it. Same range digested from the same cells in the tools/554 browser workbook always produces the same values_digest -- unless as_artifact is true, in which case it returns a full OCG v0.4 artifact over the WHOLE sheet instead of a single-range fragment (see as_artifact). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
workbook_range_digest accepts 5 parameters: cells, range, semantics, provenance, as_artifact. Required: cells, range. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for workbook_range_digest: 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 Ainumbers Mcp Apps. Nothing to install.
workbook_range_digest 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 workbook_range_digest 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 workbook_range_digest. 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.
workbook_range_digest is provided by the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP server (postoaklabs/ainumbers-mcp-apps). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
