Low Risk

floyd_hold_booking

Place a temporary hold on a time slot. The hold expires automatically if not confirmed. Use a slotId from floyd_get_available_slots, or provide explicit fields.

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

AI agents call floyd_hold_booking to retrieve information from Floyd 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 floyd_hold_booking 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.
