What random_password does on TinyFn
AI agents call random_password to retrieve information from TinyFn without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
count | integer | — | Number of passwords to generate |
length | integer | — | Password length |
numbers | boolean | — | Include numbers |
symbols | boolean | — | Include symbols |
lowercase | boolean | — | Include lowercase letters |
uppercase | boolean | — | Include uppercase letters |
exclude_ambiguous | boolean | — | Exclude ambiguous characters (0O1lI) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why random_password is rated Low
Even though random_password only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs random_password safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and TinyFn, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For random_password, this is the rule to start with:
random_password is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect TinyFn, apply this rule, and every random_password call is checked against it from then on.

Register the TinyFn MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for random_password: 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 TinyFn. Nothing to install.
random_password is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the random_password 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for random_password. 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.
random_password is provided by the TinyFn MCP server (https://api.tinyfn.io/mcp/all/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
