AI agents call random_text to retrieve information from TinyFn without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
type | string | — | Type: word, words, sentence, sentences, paragraph, paragraphs, text |
count | integer | — | Number of items (words, sentences, or paragraphs) |
locale | object | — | Locale for text generation |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
The tool generates random text as output without reading from, writing to, or modifying any persistent data. It does not execute code on external systems, delete data, or involve financial operations. It is purely a computational utility that falls into the Read category (in the sense of deterministic generation with no side effects).
From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Generate random text using Faker.' This is a generative function that produces random text output with no side effects, data retrieval, or modification of external state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Generate random text using Faker. It is categorised as a Read tool in the TinyFn MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
random_text accepts 3 parameters: type, count, locale. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the TinyFn MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for random_text: 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_text 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_text 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_text. 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_text 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.
random_text is one line of TinyFn's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
