mega_sync

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use mega_sync to create or modify resources in Mega. 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 MEGA_SYNC

Without a policy, an AI agent could call mega_sync 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 Mega.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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

What does the mega_sync tool do? +

Set up sync between local and remote folders. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mega MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on mega_sync? +

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

What risk level is mega_sync? +

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

Can I rate-limit mega_sync? +

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

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

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