Execute code against CoinGecko TypeScript SDK

Runs arbitrary code with API access

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

@@coingecko/coingecko-mcp Execute Risk 5/5

AI agents invoke coingecko_code to trigger processes or run actions in CoinGecko. 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.

coingecko_code 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 coingecko_code tool do? +

Execute code against CoinGecko TypeScript SDK. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the CoinGecko MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on coingecko_code? +

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

What risk level is coingecko_code? +

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

Can I rate-limit coingecko_code? +

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

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

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