Single-target operation
Part of the Helium MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call get_option_price to retrieve information from Helium 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_option_price 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.

Get Helium's proprietary ML model-predicted price for a specific option contract. Helium trains per-symbol regression models on historical options data. This tool looks up the most recent available options chain for the symbol (today or up to 5 days back), finds the exact contract matching strike/expiration/type, and runs it through that model to produce a predicted fair-value price. Returns: - symbol: the ticker - strike: the strike price used - expiration: the expiration date used - option_type: 'call' or 'put' - predicted_price: Helium's model-predicted option price in dollars - prob_itm: probability of expiring in the money (0.0–1.0), or null if model unavailable - options_data_date: the date of the options chain snapshot the model was run on (so you know how fresh the underlying market data is) Throws an error if no options chain data is available for the symbol within the past 5 days, or if the exact contract (strike/expiration/type combination) does not exist in that chain. Args: symbol: Ticker symbol, e.g. 'AAPL', 'SPY'. strike: Strike price as a number, e.g. 150.0. expiration: Expiration date as 'YYYY-MM-DD', e.g. '2026-06-20'. option_type: Must be 'call' or 'put'. . It is categorised as a Read tool in the Helium MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_option_price. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Helium MCP server.
get_option_price is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_option_price 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 get_option_price. 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.
get_option_price is provided by the Helium MCP server (conner-m4el/helium-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
