RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE to trigger processes or run actions in Rube. 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE

RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE 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.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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

composio-rube.yaml

tools:
  RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE:
    rules:
      - action: allow
        rate_limit:
          max: 10
          window: 60
        validate:
          required_args: true

// FAQ

What does the RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE tool do? +

Executes a Recipe. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Rube MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE? +

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

What risk level is RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE? +

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

Can I rate-limit RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE? +

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

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

RUBE_EXECUTE_RECIPE is provided by the Rube MCP server (Composio/Rube). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
