Merges template with data and returns base64 encoded document or a public URL to a document. NB! When the public URL option is used, the document is stored for 30 days and automatically deleted.
AI agents use generate_document to create or update resources in PDF Generator API MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your PDF Generator API MCP Server environment.
generate_document creates new PDF documents by merging templates with data, which is a Write operation (creates data reversibly). The tool optionally stores documents publicly for 30 days, introducing a moderate risk if misused to generate sensitive or malicious documents. It does not delete, destroy, execute code, move money, or perform irreversible operations.
From the tool's definition Tool 'merges template with data and returns base64 encoded document or a public URL to a document' — creates/generates new documents; storage is temporary (30 days auto-delete) but document generation is a creation action.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Merges template with data and returns base64 encoded document or a public URL to a document. NB! When the public URL option is used, the document is stored for 30 days and automatically deleted. It is categorised as a Write tool in the PDF Generator API MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the PDF Generator API MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_document: 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 PDF Generator API MCP Server. Nothing to install.
generate_document is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_document 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 generate_document. 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.
generate_document is provided by the PDF Generator API MCP Server MCP server (pdfgeneratorapi/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
