Divide two numbers
AI agents call divide to retrieve information from MCP Math Tools without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Division is a stateless mathematical operation that only returns a computed result. It reads two input values and produces an output without modifying any data, executing commands, or causing external effects. The only edge case is division by zero, but that is a computational error, not a security concern.
From the tool's definition 'Divide two numbers' — performs a pure arithmetic computation with no side effects, no data modification, and no external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Divide two numbers. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Math Tools MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Math Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for divide: 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 MCP Math Tools. Nothing to install.
divide 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 divide 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 divide. 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.
divide is provided by the MCP Math Tools MCP server (wapred/mcp-math-stdio). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
