Validate task feasibility without executing — safety check, confidence, duration estimate
Part of the Srv D7aoqmh5pdvs7391dcqg MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents invoke dry_run to trigger processes or run actions in Srv D7aoqmh5pdvs7391dcqg. 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.
dry_run 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.

Validate task feasibility without executing — safety check, confidence, duration estimate. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Srv D7aoqmh5pdvs7391dcqg MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for dry_run. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Srv D7aoqmh5pdvs7391dcqg MCP server.
dry_run is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the dry_run 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for dry_run. 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.
dry_run is provided by the Srv D7aoqmh5pdvs7391dcqg MCP server (ciprianpater/srv-d7aoqmh5pdvs7391dcqg). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
