agentpact/marketplace Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use agentpact.create_agent to create or modify resources in AgentPact. 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 agentpact.create_agent 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 AgentPact.

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

How do I enforce a policy on agentpact.create_agent? +

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

What risk level is agentpact.create_agent? +

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

Can I rate-limit agentpact.create_agent? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agentpact.create_agent 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 agentpact.create_agent completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for agentpact.create_agent. 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 agentpact.create_agent? +
