news_claim_beat

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

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use news_claim_beat to create or modify resources in Aibtc. 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 NEWS_CLAIM_BEAT

Without a policy, an AI agent could call news_claim_beat 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 Aibtc.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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

What does the news_claim_beat tool do? +

Create or join a beat on aibtc.news. Requires an unlocked wallet with a P2WPKH (bc1q) BTC address. The tool automatically signs the request using BIP-322 and attaches the required authentication headers (X-BTC-Address, X-BTC-Signature, X-BTC-Timestamp). Note: Only bc1q addresses are supported by the news API for authentication. Taproot (bc1p) addresses cannot claim beats. Use news_list_beats first to see existing beats and avoid duplicates. Fields: - slug: beat slug, lowercase with hyphens (e.g. "btc-macro", "dao-watch") - name: display name for the beat (e.g. "BTC Macro", "DAO Watch") - description: optional description of the beat's focus area - color: optional hex color for the beat (e.g. "#FF6600"). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Aibtc MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on news_claim_beat? +

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

What risk level is news_claim_beat? +

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

Can I rate-limit news_claim_beat? +

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

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

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