Merge multiple JSON datasets with deduplication and conflict resolution. Handles overlapping data intelligently, perfect for agents combining data from multiple sources.
Part of the Structured Data Validator MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use merge_datasets to create or modify resources in Structured Data Validator. 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 merge_datasets 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 Structured Data Validator.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Merge multiple JSON datasets with deduplication and conflict resolution. Handles overlapping data intelligently, perfect for agents combining data from multiple sources.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Structured Data Validator 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 merge_datasets. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Structured Data Validator MCP server.
merge_datasets 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 merge_datasets 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 merge_datasets. 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.
merge_datasets is provided by the Structured Data Validator MCP server (@agenson-horrowitz/structured-data-validator-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
