What markdown_table does on SmartTools
AI agents invoke markdown_table to trigger actions in SmartTools. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
text | string | Yes | CSV/TSV rows; the first row is the header |
locale | string | — | Language for the source_url link (default en) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why markdown_table is rated High
markdown_table triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs markdown_table safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and SmartTools, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For markdown_table, this is the rule to start with:
markdown_table stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect SmartTools, apply this rule, and every markdown_table call is checked against it from then on.

markdown_table is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the markdown_table 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for markdown_table. 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.
