WHAT IT DOES

What text_diff does on ScorpTech x402 API

AI agents use text_diff 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
`a`	string	Yes	Original text (aliases: old, before)
`b`	string	Yes	New text (aliases: new, after)
`mode`	string	—	unified (default, alias line), word or char
`a_label`	string	—	Label for the --- header (default a)
`b_label`	string	—	Label for the +++ header (default b)
`context`	integer	—	Context lines for unified mode, 0-20 (default 3)
`ignore_eol`	boolean	—	Treat CRLF and LF as equal (default true)
`ignore_case`	boolean	—	Case-insensitive comparison
`ignore_whitespace`	boolean	—	Treat runs of whitespace as equal

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why text_diff is rated Medium

An AI agent can call text_diff 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

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

text_diff Rate-limited

text_diff 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.

FAQ

Questions about text_diff

What does the text_diff tool do? +

Diff two texts: unified line diff byte-compatible with GNU diff -u (hunks, context, "No newline at end of file"), or word-level / character-level diff with [-removed-]{+added+} inline markup and merged ops. Myers shortest edit script with a patience fallback for very different inputs; options to ignore whitespace, case and CRLF/LF. Returns added/removed/unchanged counts and a similarity ratio. Offline; 20,000 lines or tokens per text. Price: $0.005 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/text-diff. 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.

What parameters does text_diff accept? +

text_diff accepts 9 parameters: a, b, mode, a_label, b_label, context, ignore_eol, ignore_case, ignore_whitespace. Required: a, b. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on text_diff? +

Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for text_diff: 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.

What risk level is text_diff? +

text_diff is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit text_diff? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the text_diff 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.

How do I block text_diff completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for text_diff. 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.

What MCP server provides text_diff? +

text_diff 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.
