AI agents use convert_html_to_markdown to create or update resources in Doc Ops — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Doc Ops environment.
This tool creates new document files as output, which is a Write operation (reversible data creation). Severity is medium because: (1) file creation could consume storage or overwrite existing files if naming collides, but (2) the operation is reversible (files can be deleted), and (3) it doesn't execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money.
From the tool's definition Tool "convert_html_to_markdown" creates new Markdown files by converting HTML input and automatically saves them to OUTPUT_DIR with auto-generated names.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access convert_html_to_markdown gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Doc Ops, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for convert_html_to_markdown:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"convert_html_to_markdown": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "convert_html_to_markdown_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}convert_html_to_markdown 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.
