Calculate Net Present Value for real estate investment decisions
AI agents call calculate_npv to retrieve information from RealVest Real Estate MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
NPV calculation is a deterministic mathematical operation that takes investment parameters as inputs and returns a computed value. It does not create, modify, delete, or move actual funds; it merely analyzes and returns financial projections. This is analogous to a search or query operation—retrieving analytical results based on input data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'calculate_npv' and description 'Calculate Net Present Value for real estate investment decisions' indicate a financial calculation/analysis function that retrieves or computes data without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access calculate_npv gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RealVest Real Estate MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for calculate_npv:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"calculate_npv": {}
}
} calculate_npv is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

calculate_npv 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 calculate_npv 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 calculate_npv. 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.
calculate_npv is provided by the RealVest Real Estate MCP Server MCP server (sigaihealth/realvestmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
