asmaaziry19/priceapi_mcp Execute Risk 4/5

AI agents invoke wait_for_job_completion to trigger processes or run actions in Priceapi. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

wait_for_job_completion can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the wait_for_job_completion tool do? +

Wait for a job to complete and return results. Args: job_id (str): The job ID to wait for token (str | None): Optional PriceAPI token. If not provided, falls back to URL parameters or PRICEAPI_TOKEN environment variable. max_wait_time (int): Maximum time to wait in seconds (default: 300) check_interval (int): Time between status checks in seconds (default: 10) Returns: dict: Job completion result. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Priceapi MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on wait_for_job_completion? +

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

What risk level is wait_for_job_completion? +

wait_for_job_completion is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit wait_for_job_completion? +

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

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

wait_for_job_completion is provided by the Priceapi MCP server (asmaaziry19/priceapi_mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
