Adds two numbers together.
AI agents call Addition to retrieve information from Mcp Examples without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs arithmetic computation and returns a result. It neither modifies data, executes external code, deletes resources, nor involves financial transactions. Mathematical operations that compute and return values with no side effects are classified as Read operations with low severity since misuse poses negligible security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'Addition' and description 'Adds two numbers together' indicate a pure mathematical operation that retrieves a computed result without side effects or state modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Adds two numbers together. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Examples MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Examples MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for Addition: 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 Mcp Examples. Nothing to install.
Addition 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 Addition 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 Addition. 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.
Addition is provided by the Mcp Examples MCP server (psyll0n/mcp-examples). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
