create_data_annotations

When using this tool, always use the `jq_filter` parameter to reduce the response size and improve performance. Only omit if you're sure you don't need the data. Creates a new annotation. # Response Schema ```json { $ref: '#/$defs/annotation_response', $defs: { annotation_response: { ...

@mux/mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use create_data_annotations to create or modify resources in Mux. 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 create_data_annotations 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 Mux.

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

What does the create_data_annotations tool do? +

When using this tool, always use the `jq_filter` parameter to reduce the response size and improve performance. Only omit if you're sure you don't need the data. Creates a new annotation. # Response Schema ```json { $ref: '#/$defs/annotation_response', $defs: { annotation_response: { type: 'object', properties: { data: { $ref: '#/$defs/annotation' } }, required: [ 'data' ] }, annotation: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string', description: 'Unique identifier for the annotation' }, date: { type: 'string', description: 'Datetime when the annotation applies', format: 'date-time' }, note: { type: 'string', description: 'The annotation note content' }, sub_property_id: { type: 'string', description: 'Customer-defined sub-property identifier' } }, required: [ 'id', 'date', 'note' ] } } } ```. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mux MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_data_annotations? +

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

What risk level is create_data_annotations? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_data_annotations? +

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

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

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