What barcode_generate does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents use barcode_generate to create or update resources in ScorpTech x402 API, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ScorpTech x402 API environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
bg | string | — | |
fg | string | — | |
data | string | Yes | Content to encode (digits for EAN / UPC / ITF) |
text | boolean | — | Print the human-readable text under the bars |
type | string | — | |
quiet | integer | — | Quiet zone each side (modules) |
scale | integer | — | Pixels per module |
height | integer | — | Bar height (px) |
checksum | boolean | — | Code 39: append the mod-43 check character |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why barcode_generate is rated Medium
An AI agent can call barcode_generate faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in ScorpTech x402 API by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs barcode_generate safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For barcode_generate, this is the rule to start with:
barcode_generate 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 ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every barcode_generate call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about barcode_generate
Generate a 1D barcode as SVG (plus base64 data URI and the raw module pattern): Code 128 (any ASCII, automatic A / B / C subset switching for the shortest symbol), GS1-128 shipping / logistics labels from "(01)…(17)…(10)…" application identifiers (FNC1 separators, SSCC / GTIN check digits verified), EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A and ITF-14 (check digit computed when omitted, verified when given) and Code 39 (optional mod-43 check). Options: module width, bar height, quiet zone, human-readable text, colours. For product labels, shipping cartons, inventory and tickets. Price: $0.002 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: GET https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/barcode-generate. It is categorised as a Write tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
barcode_generate accepts 9 parameters: bg, fg, data, text, type, quiet, scale, height, checksum. Required: data. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for barcode_generate: 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 ScorpTech x402 API. Nothing to install.
barcode_generate is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the barcode_generate 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 barcode_generate. 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.
barcode_generate is provided by the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server (https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
