Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Each invocation of this tool triggers a financial transaction — paying $0.001 USDC per page processed via the x402 payment protocol. An AI agent misusing this tool (e.g., repeatedly extracting large PDFs) could accumulate unbounded financial charges. This makes it Financial category, and the severity is high because costs scale with usage and there is no account-based cap mentioned.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access extract_pdf gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Docpull, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for extract_pdf:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"extract_pdf": {
"deny_if": [
{
"conditions": [],
"on_deny": "Requires human approval."
}
]
}
}
}Any call to extract_pdf is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
