What markdown_table does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents invoke markdown_table to trigger actions in ScorpTech x402 API. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
data | object | — | Rows: array of objects, array of arrays (first row = header unless headers given) or a CSV string |
align | array | — | Per-column alignment (default auto) |
pretty | boolean | — | Pad columns to equal width |
columns | array | — | Columns to include, in order |
headers | array | — | Header labels (rename / for header-less arrays) |
numbers | boolean | — | Parse mode: convert numeric cells |
markdown | string | — | Parse mode: Markdown containing tables |
maxWidth | integer | — | Truncate cells wider than this |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why markdown_table is rated High
markdown_table triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs markdown_table 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 markdown_table, this is the rule to start with:
markdown_table stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 markdown_table call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about markdown_table
Build or parse Markdown (GitHub-flavoured) tables. Build: from an array of objects, an array of arrays or CSV, with column selection / order / renaming, alignment (numeric columns right-aligned automatically), pipe / newline escaping, cell truncation and padding that respects wide CJK / emoji characters; also returns an HTML table. Parse: extract every table from Markdown into headers, alignment and typed rows (JSON). Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/markdown-table. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
markdown_table accepts 8 parameters: data, align, pretty, columns, headers, numbers, markdown, maxWidth. 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 markdown_table: 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.
markdown_table is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the markdown_table 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 markdown_table. 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.
markdown_table 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.
