How to control convert_markdown_to_html ↓

AI agents use convert_markdown_to_html 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.

Medium Risk

This tool creates new files (HTML output) through a document conversion process. While file creation is reversible (files can be deleted), the tool modifies the filesystem by writing new artifacts.

From the tool's definition Tool converts markdown to HTML and automatically saves files to OUTPUT_DIR with auto-generated names. The description explicitly states 'Files will be automatically saved to OUTPUT_DIR' indicating file creation/writing capability.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access convert_markdown_to_html 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_markdown_to_html:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "convert_markdown_to_html": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "convert_markdown_to_html_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

convert_markdown_to_html 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Doc Ops — 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.
