Medium Risk

create_account

Create a new COTI account with a randomly generated private key and AES key. Returns the new account details for the AI assistant to track in conversation context. The AI should remember these credentials for use in subsequent operations.

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

davibauer/coti-mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use create_account to create or modify resources in COTI MCP Server. 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_account 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 COTI MCP Server.

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

What does the create_account tool do? +

Create a new COTI account with a randomly generated private key and AES key. Returns the new account details for the AI assistant to track in conversation context. The AI should remember these credentials for use in subsequent operations.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the COTI MCP Server 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_account? +

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

What risk level is create_account? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_account? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_account 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_account completely? +

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

create_account is provided by the COTI MCP Server MCP server (davibauer/coti-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
