agon_gateway_call_with_headers

Call a Gateway route with caller-supplied auth/payment headers. MCP does not sign, pay, or execute wallet commands. Devnet routes expect devnet-USDC payment headers; mainnet routes expect mainnet-USDC headers; Tokens API SIWX routes are free.

Accepts file system path (path); Accepts freeform code/query input (query); Accepts raw HTML/template content (body)

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

AI agents invoke agon_gateway_call_with_headers to trigger processes or run actions in Gateway. 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.

agon_gateway_call_with_headers 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.

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

What does the agon_gateway_call_with_headers tool do? +

Call a Gateway route with caller-supplied auth/payment headers. MCP does not sign, pay, or execute wallet commands. Devnet routes expect devnet-USDC payment headers; mainnet routes expect mainnet-USDC headers; Tokens API SIWX routes are free.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Gateway MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on agon_gateway_call_with_headers? +

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

What risk level is agon_gateway_call_with_headers? +

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

Can I rate-limit agon_gateway_call_with_headers? +

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

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

agon_gateway_call_with_headers is provided by the Gateway MCP server (@agonx402/gateway-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
