AI agents invoke build_pdf to trigger processes or run actions in AI Applyd. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

build_pdf can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

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

What does the build_pdf tool do? +

Generate a professional PDF resume from text. Choose from modern, classic, or minimal templates. The PDF is saved to your account with a shareable link. Requires paid plan (Hired in 30+).. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the AI Applyd MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on build_pdf? +

Register the AI Applyd MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for build_pdf: 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 AI Applyd. Nothing to install.

What risk level is build_pdf? +

build_pdf is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit build_pdf? +

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

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

build_pdf is provided by the AI Applyd MCP server (https://mcp.aiapplyd.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every AI Applyd tool call.
