What markdown-report does on Frontmcp
AI agents call markdown-report to retrieve information from Frontmcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why markdown-report is rated Low
The tool generates a markdown report, which is a read/query-style operation that produces formatted output. There is no indication of side effects, data modification, or destructive actions. Confidence is moderate because the description is minimal and does not clarify whether the report involves fetching data from external systems or writing files.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs markdown-report safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Frontmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For markdown-report, this is the rule to start with:
markdown-report 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 Frontmcp, apply this rule, and every markdown-report call is checked against it from then on.
