Based on the name alone, this tool converts a datetime value to an epoch timestamp, which is a pure data transformation with no side effects, no data retrieval, no writes, and no destructive or financial actions. The empty description lowers confidence, but the sibling tool 'convert_epoch_to_datetime' confirms this is a pair of bidirectional time format conversion utilities.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'convert_datetime_to_epoch'; description is empty and uninformative.

POLICY

How to control convert_datetime_to_epoch

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "convert_datetime_to_epoch": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "convert_datetime_to_epoch_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

convert_datetime_to_epoch gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
