How to control conversion ↓

AI agents invoke conversion to trigger actions in Widget MCP. 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.

High Risk

conversion triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once — it starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access conversion gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Widget MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for conversion:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "conversion": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "conversion_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

conversion 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Widget MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the conversion tool do? +

Display a unit conversion widget that allows real-time conversion between multiple units. Each unit should contain a formula for each other unit in terms of the current unit. Example input: { units: [{id:. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Widget MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on conversion? +

Register the Widget MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for conversion: 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 Widget MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is conversion? +

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

Can I rate-limit conversion? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the conversion 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.

How do I block conversion completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for conversion. 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.

What MCP server provides conversion? +

conversion is provided by the Widget MCP server (ref-tools/widget-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Widget MCP tool call.
