Medium Risk

finishkit_setup

Set up FinishKit or check connection status. Creates a setup link if not connected. Use when any tool reports FinishKit is not connected, or when users ask "what is FinishKit?"

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

@finishkit/mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use finishkit_setup to create or modify resources in Finishkit. 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 finishkit_setup 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 Finishkit.

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

What does the finishkit_setup tool do? +

Set up FinishKit or check connection status. Creates a setup link if not connected. Use when any tool reports FinishKit is not connected, or when users ask "what is FinishKit?". It is categorised as a Write tool in the Finishkit MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on finishkit_setup? +

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

What risk level is finishkit_setup? +

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

Can I rate-limit finishkit_setup? +

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

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

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