WHAT IT DOES

What chunk_markdown does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

AI agents call chunk_markdown to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why chunk_markdown is rated Low

Chunking markdown is a read/transform operation: it takes input text, analyzes structure (headers), and returns segmented output. It does not write to any store, execute code, delete data, or involve finances. Severity is low because misuse has minimal blast radius — it only processes text provided to it.

From the tool's definition "Chunk markdown text with header awareness" — the tool processes/parses input text and splits it into chunks based on headers, a pure text transformation with no side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs chunk_markdown safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ContextForge MCP Gateway, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For chunk_markdown, this is the rule to start with:

chunk_markdown Allowed

chunk_markdown is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "chunk_markdown": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ContextForge MCP Gateway, apply this rule, and every chunk_markdown call is checked against it from then on.
