What divide does on MCP Calculator Server

AI agents call divide to retrieve information from MCP Calculator Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why divide needs a policy

Division is a stateless mathematical computation that only returns a result. It reads two inputs and produces an output, making it equivalent to a query/fetch operation. The only minor risk is division by zero, but that results in an error, not data loss or system compromise.

From the tool's definition "Divide first number by second number" — pure arithmetic operation with no side effects, no data modification, no external system interaction.
