student_t_variate
AI agents call student_t_variate to retrieve information from FortunaMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool generates random numbers from a statistical distribution with no side effects, no data modification, no code execution, and no financial impact. It retrieves/generates data only. The lack of a tool-specific description is mitigated by the clear server purpose and consistent naming with sibling tools, all of which are pure random generators.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'student_t_variate' indicates generation of random values following a Student's t-distribution. Server description emphasizes generating 'high-quality random values' using a 'robust, thread-safe C++ RNG engine'.

student_t_variate. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FortunaMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Fortuna MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for student_t_variate: 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 FortunaMCP. Nothing to install.
student_t_variate 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 student_t_variate 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 student_t_variate. 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.
student_t_variate is provided by the Fortuna MCP server (siliconsociety/fortunamcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
