Part of the Mcp Shorturl MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use shorturl_create to create or modify resources in Mcp Shorturl. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call shorturl_create repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Mcp Shorturl.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Create a short URL from a long URL. Converts a long URL into a short, easy-to-share URL using the ShortURL API. The short URL redirects to the original long URL when visited. This is useful for: - Sharing links on social media with character limits - Creating clean, memorable links for marketing - Tracking link clicks and engagement - Making long URLs more manageable in documents and messages Args: url: The long URL to shorten. Must be a valid HTTP or HTTPS URL. Returns: JSON response containing the shortened URL. Example: shorturl_create(url="https://platform.acedata.cloud/documents/a2303356-6672-4eb8-9778-75f55c998fe9") . It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Shorturl MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for shorturl_create. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Mcp Shorturl MCP server.
shorturl_create 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 shorturl_create rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for shorturl_create. 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.
shorturl_create is provided by the Mcp Shorturl MCP server (acedatacloud-mcp/mcp-shorturl). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
