Verify a trial account email with the verification code sent to the user. Call this after create_trial_account. The user must provide the code from their email. On success, the API key is automatically configured.
Part of the AdButler MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call verify_trial_email to retrieve information from AdButler without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though verify_trial_email only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Verify a trial account email with the verification code sent to the user. Call this after create_trial_account. The user must provide the code from their email. On success, the API key is automatically configured.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the AdButler MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for verify_trial_email. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AdButler MCP server.
verify_trial_email 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 verify_trial_email 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 verify_trial_email. 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.
verify_trial_email is provided by the AdButler MCP server (@adbutler/mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
