What convert_batch does on Quarkdown MCP Server

AI agents invoke convert_batch to trigger actions in Quarkdown MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why convert_batch needs a policy

Batch conversion processes multiple documents through compilation/transformation pipelines, triggering external document processing operations at scale. The 'batch mode' aspect amplifies the blast radius significantly — misuse could process and overwrite many files at once.

How to control convert_batch

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Quarkdown MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for convert_batch:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "convert_batch": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "convert_batch_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

convert_batch stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Quarkdown MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on convert_batch? +

Register the Quarkdown MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for convert_batch: 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 Quarkdown MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is convert_batch? +

convert_batch is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit convert_batch? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the convert_batch 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.

How do I block convert_batch completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for convert_batch. 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.

What MCP server provides convert_batch? +

convert_batch is provided by the Quarkdown MCP Server MCP server (lillard01/quarkdown-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
