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

AI agents call get_price_history to retrieve information from Buda 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 get_price_history 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.

What does the get_price_history tool do? +

IMPORTANT: Candles are aggregated client-side from raw trades (Buda has no native candlestick endpoint) — fetching more trades via the 'limit' parameter gives deeper history but slower responses. Returns OHLCV candles (open/high/low/close as floats in quote currency; volume as float in base currency) for periods 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, or 1d. Candle timestamps are UTC bucket boundaries. Example: 'Show me the hourly BTC-CLP price chart for the past 24 hours.'. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Buda MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_price_history? +

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

What risk level is get_price_history? +

get_price_history is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit get_price_history? +

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

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

get_price_history is provided by the Buda MCP server (@guiie/buda-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
