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...

render_d2 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 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.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access render_d2 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 render_d2 only ever does what you allow.

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? +

Register the Mcp Media Forge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for render_d2: 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 Media Forge. Nothing to install.

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 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 render_d2 completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer 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). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Mcp Media Forge tool call.
