WHAT IT DOES

What generate_ids does on Tanod

AI agents use generate_ids to create or update resources in Tanod, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Tanod environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`kind`	string	—	uuid (default) or ulid.
`count`	integer	—	How many (1-100, default 1).
`version`	integer	—	UUID version 4 (random, default) or 7 (time-ordered); kind=uuid only.
`monotonic`	boolean	—	v7 / ULID only: strictly increasing within this response.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why generate_ids is rated Medium

An AI agent can call generate_ids faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Tanod by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs generate_ids safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tanod, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For generate_ids, this is the rule to start with:

generate_ids Rate-limited

generate_ids 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tanod, apply this rule, and every generate_ids call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about generate_ids

What does the generate_ids tool do? +

utilpeek: Generate UUIDs or ULIDs. For numbers, bytes and picks use generate_random. Returns 1-100 new identifiers: random UUID v4, time-ordered UUID v7 (RFC 9562) or ULIDs, optionally strictly increasing within the response (v7 and ULID; per response on purpose, so one caller cannot predict another's next ID). Input: optional kind, version, count and monotonic; an empty body gives one UUID v4. version with kind=ulid, or monotonic with v4, is a 422 (not charged). Typically under 0.1 s. Price: USD 0.001. Free: 10 utilpeek calls per IP per UTC day. Docs: https://tanod.dev/learn/uuid-generator-api.html. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Tanod MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does generate_ids accept? +

generate_ids accepts 4 parameters: kind, count, version, monotonic. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_ids? +

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

What risk level is generate_ids? +

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

Can I rate-limit generate_ids? +

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

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

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