agda-mcp-server Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use agda_backend_hole to create or modify resources in Agda. 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 agda_backend_hole 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 Agda.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the agda_backend_hole tool do? +

Send a backend-specific hole payload via Cmd_backend_hole.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Agda MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on agda_backend_hole? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for agda_backend_hole. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Agda MCP server.

What risk level is agda_backend_hole? +

agda_backend_hole is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit agda_backend_hole? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agda_backend_hole 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.

How do I block agda_backend_hole completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for agda_backend_hole. 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.

What MCP server provides agda_backend_hole? +

agda_backend_hole is provided by the Agda MCP server (agda-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
