WHAT IT DOES

What convert_batch does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

AI agents use convert_batch to create or update resources in ContextForge MCP Gateway, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ContextForge MCP Gateway environment.

RISK

Why convert_batch is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies document content through format conversion. While the operation is reversible and doesn't permanently destroy data (Destructive), it does change document state, making it a Write action. Severity is medium because batch conversion of multiple documents could affect many items, but the reversibility and lack of data loss mitigate the risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'convert_batch' and description 'Convert multiple documents to the same format' indicates it modifies data by transforming documents.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs convert_batch 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 convert_batch, this is the rule to start with:

convert_batch Rate-limited

convert_batch stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
