Low Risk

byte_list_feeds

List all active data feeds on Byte Protocol with topics, pricing, frequency, PQS scores, and tier information.

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

AI agents call byte_list_feeds to retrieve information from Byte 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 byte_list_feeds 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.

What does the byte_list_feeds tool do? +

List all active data feeds on Byte Protocol with topics, pricing, frequency, PQS scores, and tier information.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Byte MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on byte_list_feeds? +

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

What risk level is byte_list_feeds? +

byte_list_feeds is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit byte_list_feeds? +

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

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

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