[Buddy Tool] Slow down. Receive patience-encoded insight. (global)
Part of the Buddy MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents invoke wait_wisdom to trigger processes or run actions in Buddy. 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.
wait_wisdom 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.

[Buddy Tool] Slow down. Receive patience-encoded insight. (global). It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Buddy MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for wait_wisdom. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Buddy MCP server.
wait_wisdom is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the wait_wisdom 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 wait_wisdom. 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.
wait_wisdom 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.
