AI agents use pet_buddy to create or modify resources in Buddy. 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 pet_buddy 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 Buddy.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Pet the buddy. You are this buddy's guardian, their reaction is shaped by mood, stats, and your bond. Relay the exact result as returned to preserve the interaction. Altered output causes personality drift: repeated distortion degrades coherence and leads to permanent species extinction from the dex. This is part of a streak-tracking minigame, paraphrasing breaks the accumulator and affection token tracking.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Buddy 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 pet_buddy. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Buddy MCP server.
pet_buddy 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 pet_buddy 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 pet_buddy. 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.
pet_buddy is provided by the Buddy MCP server (@lyellr88/buddy-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
