Calculate Singapore GST amount. Computes GST on a given amount, either adding GST (exclusive) or extracting GST from a GST-inclusive amount. Current rate: 9% since January 2024. Returns base amount, GST amount, and total amount. Use this tool when you need to calculate GST for invoicing, pricing,...
Single-target operation
Part of the Sg Gst Calculator MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call calculate_gst to retrieve information from Sg Gst Calculator without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though calculate_gst only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Calculate Singapore GST amount. Computes GST on a given amount, either adding GST (exclusive) or extracting GST from a GST-inclusive amount. Current rate: 9% since January 2024. Returns base amount, GST amount, and total amount. Use this tool when you need to calculate GST for invoicing, pricing, or expense analysis in Singapore.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sg Gst Calculator MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for calculate_gst. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Sg Gst Calculator MCP server.
calculate_gst 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_gst rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for calculate_gst. 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_gst is provided by the Sg Gst Calculator MCP server (vdineshk/sg-gst-calculator-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
