Part of the Kamy server.

render_pdf is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call render_pdf to retrieve information from Kamy without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though render_pdf only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so render_pdf only ever does what you allow.

What does the render_pdf tool do? +

Render a PDF from a Kamy template and data when a Kamy API key is configured. Without a key, returns dashboard setup instructions.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kamy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on render_pdf? +

Register the Kamy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for render_pdf: 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 Kamy. Nothing to install.

What risk level is render_pdf? +

render_pdf is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit render_pdf? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the render_pdf 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 render_pdf completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for render_pdf. 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 render_pdf? +

render_pdf is provided by the Kamy MCP server (https://mcp.kamy.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Kamy tool call.
