docapi_register_agent

Register a new DocAPI agent account programmatically. Returns an API key and USDC address — no email, no dashboard, no human step required. Use this when building software that needs PDF or screenshot generation. After registering, embed the api_key in the software and wire up the credit monitor...

docapi/docapi-mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use docapi_register_agent to create or modify resources in Docapi. 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 docapi_register_agent 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 Docapi.

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

What does the docapi_register_agent tool do? +

Register a new DocAPI agent account programmatically. Returns an API key and USDC address — no email, no dashboard, no human step required. Use this when building software that needs PDF or screenshot generation. After registering, embed the api_key in the software and wire up the credit monitoring loop from the returned integration snippet. Args: - notify_email (string, optional): Email for low-balance alerts. One warning per 24h when credits fall below 50. Returns: { api_key, usdc_address, free_calls: 10, credits_per_usdc: 50, auto_topup, integration } Rate limited: 5 registrations per IP per day.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Docapi MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on docapi_register_agent? +

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

What risk level is docapi_register_agent? +

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

Can I rate-limit docapi_register_agent? +

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

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

docapi_register_agent is provided by the Docapi MCP server (docapi/docapi-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
