Calculate TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure), BMR, and personalised daily macro targets (protein, carbs, fat) based on the user
AI agents call calculate_tdee to retrieve information from NutriBalance without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs calculations and returns computed nutritional data. It retrieves or derives information without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It does not create permanent records, trigger irreversible actions, or involve financial transactions. The action is purely computational and read-like in nature.
From the tool's definition Tool calculates and returns TDEE, BMR, and macro targets based on user input. Description uses language indicating information retrieval and computation ('Calculate', 'personalised daily macro targets') with no mention of data modification, deletion, or…
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Calculate TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure), BMR, and personalised daily macro targets (protein, carbs, fat) based on the user. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NutriBalance MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NutriBalance MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for calculate_tdee: 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 NutriBalance. Nothing to install.
calculate_tdee 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_tdee 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_tdee. 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_tdee is provided by the NutriBalance MCP server (thenutritrackerapp-creator/nutribalance-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
