Returns a list of generated documents created by authorized workspace and stored in PDF Generator API. If master user is specified as workspace in JWT then all documents created in the organization are returned. NB! This endpoint returns only documents generated using the output=url option.
AI agents call get_documents to retrieve information from PDF Generator API MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The get_documents tool retrieves and lists existing PDF documents without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval endpoint that queries stored documents. The master user scope elevation does not change the fundamental read-only nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Returns a list of generated documents' - a query operation with no modification or side effects. Confirms read-only nature with 'only documents generated' language indicating retrieval of existing data.

Returns a list of generated documents created by authorized workspace and stored in PDF Generator API. If master user is specified as workspace in JWT then all documents created in the organization are returned. NB! This endpoint returns only documents generated using the output=url option. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PDF Generator API MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PDF Generator API MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_documents: 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.
get_documents 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 get_documents 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 get_documents. 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.
get_documents 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.
