AI agents use generate_citation to create or modify resources in Islamic Books & Quran Reference Library. 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 generate_citation 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 Islamic Books & Quran Reference Library.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Generate a properly formatted academic citation for any Islamic book in the library. Supports APA 7th, MLA 9th, and Chicago 17th styles. Use when a student, researcher, journalist, or academic needs to cite Islamic source material in a paper, essay, thesis, or article. Includes a direct link to purchase the source material. Args: book_title: Title or partial title of the book to cite style: Citation format — "apa", "mla", or "chicago" (default: apa) page_number: Optional specific page number(s) to include (e.g., "45" or "112-115") . It is categorised as a Write tool in the Islamic Books & Quran Reference Library MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for generate_citation. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Islamic Books & Quran Reference Library MCP server.
generate_citation is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_citation 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for generate_citation. 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.
generate_citation is provided by the Islamic Books & Quran Reference Library MCP server (hashirsiddiqui15/ami-bookstore-mcp-h). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
