Low Risk

chunk_text

Split text into overlapping chunks suitable for RAG/embedding pipelines. Configurable chunk size and overlap. Returns chunks with positional metadata.

Part of the Mcp File Processor server.

chunk_text 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 chunk_text to retrieve information from Mcp File Processor 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 chunk_text 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access chunk_text gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the chunk_text tool do? +

Split text into overlapping chunks suitable for RAG/embedding pipelines. Configurable chunk size and overlap. Returns chunks with positional metadata.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp File Processor MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on chunk_text? +

Register the Mcp File Processor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for chunk_text: 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 Mcp File Processor. Nothing to install.

What risk level is chunk_text? +

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

Can I rate-limit chunk_text? +

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

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

chunk_text is provided by the Mcp File Processor MCP server (@intelagent/mcp-file-processor). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Mcp File Processor tool call.
