Part of the Dyer Md server.

render_html 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_html to retrieve information from Dyer Md 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_html 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_html 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_html only ever does what you allow.

What does the render_html tool do? +

Convert a note's Markdown to HTML. Useful for previewing or publishing.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Dyer Md MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on render_html? +

Register the Dyer Md MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for render_html: 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 Dyer Md. Nothing to install.

What risk level is render_html? +

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

Can I rate-limit render_html? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the render_html 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_html completely? +

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

render_html is provided by the Dyer Md MCP server (dyer-md-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Dyer Md tool call.
