WHAT IT DOES

What format_convert does on ScorpTech x402 API

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`to`	string	Yes	csv, tsv, json, yaml or xml
`from`	string	—	auto (default), csv, tsv, json, yaml, xml
`input`	string	Yes	The document text (or, for JSON, the value itself)
`options`	object	—	header (default true), inferTypes (true), pretty (true), delimiter (, ; \| \t), rootName (root), itemName (item), flatten (true), spreadsheetSafe (false)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs format_convert 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 format_convert, this is the rule to start with:

format_convert Rate-limited

format_convert 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.
