Medium Risk

register_account

Create a new arcagent account and get an API key. No authentication required. Use this if you don't have an account yet. Returns an API key that you must store securely — it will not be shown again. If you already have a web account with the same email, this will link to it.

Part of the ArcAgent MCP MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

arcagent-mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use register_account to create or modify resources in ArcAgent MCP. 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 register_account 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 ArcAgent MCP.

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

What does the register_account tool do? +

Create a new arcagent account and get an API key. No authentication required. Use this if you don't have an account yet. Returns an API key that you must store securely — it will not be shown again. If you already have a web account with the same email, this will link to it.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the ArcAgent MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on register_account? +

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

What risk level is register_account? +

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

Can I rate-limit register_account? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the register_account 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 register_account completely? +

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

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