Convert Markdown into the simplified block JSON format.
AI agents call markdown_to_blocks to retrieve information from Notion Private Api without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a pure conversion/transformation of Markdown text into a block JSON format. It does not read from or write to any external system — it is a local data transformation operation with no side effects. The output is data that could subsequently be used by write tools, but this tool itself only converts format.

Register the Notion Private Api MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for markdown_to_blocks: 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 Notion Private Api. Nothing to install.
markdown_to_blocks 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 markdown_to_blocks 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 markdown_to_blocks. 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.
