Output

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use Output to create or modify resources in Ideaboardz. 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON OUTPUT

Without a policy, an AI agent could call Output 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 Ideaboardz.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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

What does the Output tool do? +

all stickies and grouped by section. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ideaboardz MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on Output? +

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

What risk level is Output? +

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

Can I rate-limit Output? +

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

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

Output is provided by the Ideaboardz MCP server (ideaboardz-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
