render_d2

Render a D2 architecture diagram to SVG or PNG. Best for: architecture diagrams with containers, nested groups, icons, and complex layouts. IMPORTANT: D2 syntax is NOT Mermaid. Use '->' for arrows (not '-->'), containers with 'name: { ... }' (not 'subgraph'). Anti-patterns: Mermaid syntax, unbala...

Accepts freeform code/query input (code)

Part of the Mcp Media Forge MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

mcp-media-forge Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call render_d2 to retrieve information from Mcp Media Forge 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_d2 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.

What does the render_d2 tool do? +

Render a D2 architecture diagram to SVG or PNG. Best for: architecture diagrams with containers, nested groups, icons, and complex layouts. IMPORTANT: D2 syntax is NOT Mermaid. Use '->' for arrows (not '-->'), containers with 'name: { ... }' (not 'subgraph'). Anti-patterns: Mermaid syntax, unbalanced braces, >3 nesting levels. Call get_tool_guide('d2') for examples.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Media Forge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on render_d2? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for render_d2. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Mcp Media Forge MCP server.

What risk level is render_d2? +

render_d2 is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit render_d2? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the render_d2 rule in your Intercept 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_d2 completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for render_d2. 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_d2? +

render_d2 is provided by the Mcp Media Forge MCP server (mcp-media-forge). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
