MCP Tool Reference High Risk

invoke_ai_action

Invoke AI action with variables

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

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke invoke_ai_action to trigger processes or run actions in Contentful. 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 INVOKE_AI_ACTION

invoke_ai_action 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.

contentful.yaml
tools:
  invoke_ai_action:
    rules:
      - action: allow
        rate_limit:
          max: 10
          window: 60
        validate:
          required_args: true

What risk level is invoke_ai_action?

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

Can I rate-limit invoke_ai_action?

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the invoke_ai_action 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 invoke_ai_action completely?
