Division · Mcp Examples MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What Division does on Mcp Examples

AI agents invoke Division to trigger actions in Mcp Examples. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why Division needs a policy

This tool performs a mathematical division operation. It executes a computation on provided inputs. Division by zero could cause errors but has no meaningful blast radius beyond the computation itself. Classified as Execute since it performs an operation, though severity is low as it has no side effects beyond the calculation result.

From the tool's definition Divides the first number by the second number.

Verdict

Division Rate-limited

Division stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

What risk level is Division? +

Division is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit Division? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the Division 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.
