WHAT IT DOES

What generateSudoku does on API Ninjas

AI agents use generateSudoku to create or update resources in API Ninjas, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your API Ninjas environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`seed`	string	—	Seed value for reproducible puzzle generation.
`width`	integer	—	Width of each box in the Sudoku grid. Default is 3. Must be between 2 and 4.
`height`	integer	—	Height of each box in the Sudoku grid. Default is 3. Must be between 2 and 4.
`difficulty`	string	—	Difficulty level of the puzzle. Possible values: easy, medium, hard. Default is medium.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why generateSudoku is rated Medium

An AI agent can call generateSudoku faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in API Ninjas by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs generateSudoku safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and API Ninjas, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For generateSudoku, this is the rule to start with:

generateSudoku Rate-limited

generateSudoku stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect API Ninjas, apply this rule, and every generateSudoku call is checked against it from then on.
