// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke start_interest_oracle to trigger processes or run actions in Indigo Protocol MCP. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON START_INTEREST_ORACLE

start_interest_oracle can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

// FAQ

What does the start_interest_oracle tool do? +

Initialize a new interest oracle (one-time admin setup). Returns an unsigned transaction (CBOR hex) and the minted oracle asset class. Only callable by protocol administrators.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Indigo Protocol MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on start_interest_oracle? +

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

What risk level is start_interest_oracle? +

start_interest_oracle is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit start_interest_oracle? +

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

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

start_interest_oracle is provided by the Indigo Protocol MCP MCP server (indigoprotocol/indigo-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
