Single-target operation

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

pipepost-mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use x_post to create or modify resources in Pipepost. 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 x_post 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 Pipepost.

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

What does the x_post tool do? +

Post directly to X (Twitter) as a single tweet (max 280 graphemes) or a reply-chained thread via X v2 /tweets. OAuth 1.0a HMAC-SHA1 signing built in. FREE in this server, but X's free API tier caps writes at 17 tweets per 24h. Requires social.x.api_key, api_secret, access_token, access_token_secret via setup. Returns: { id, url, tweets?: [{ id, url }] }. Common errors: missing credentials (VALIDATION_ERROR), 280-grapheme overflow (VALIDATION_ERROR), 429 rate-limit (PLATFORM_ERROR).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pipepost MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on x_post? +

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

What risk level is x_post? +

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

Can I rate-limit x_post? +

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

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

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