florian/weavely Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use publish_form to create or modify resources in Weavely AI Forms & Surveys. 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 publish_form 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 Weavely AI Forms & Surveys.

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

What does the publish_form tool do? +

Publish the form so the user can keep it, share it, and collect real responses. ONLY call this when the user EXPLICITLY asks to publish, save, or share their form. Do NOT call this automatically — the preview URL is sufficient during the building process. Creates a permanent copy of the form and returns an editor URL. The user can create a Weavely account there to claim full ownership. IMPORTANT: If this tool fails, tell the user there was an error publishing and they should try again. Do NOT suggest visiting the preview URL to claim or publish — that is NOT possible. The preview URL is a temporary link that cannot be claimed or converted into a permanent form.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Weavely AI Forms & Surveys MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on publish_form? +

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

What risk level is publish_form? +

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

Can I rate-limit publish_form? +

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

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

publish_form is provided by the Weavely AI Forms & Surveys MCP server (florian/weavely). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
