What markdown_to_html does on ScorpTech x402 API
AI agents call markdown_to_html to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
breaks | boolean | — | Treat single newlines as <br> |
markdown | string | Yes | Markdown source |
allowHtml | boolean | — | Keep raw HTML (sanitised with an allowlist) instead of escaping it |
headingIds | boolean | — | Add GitHub-style id slugs to headings |
linkTarget | string | — | Open links in a new tab (adds rel=noopener noreferrer) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why markdown_to_html is rated Low
Even though markdown_to_html only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs markdown_to_html 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_to_html, this is the rule to start with:
markdown_to_html is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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_to_html call is checked against it from then on.
