agentcash Read

AI agents call check_endpoint_schema to retrieve information from Agentcash without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though check_endpoint_schema only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the check_endpoint_schema tool do? +

Get the input/output schema and auth mode (paid or SIWX) for a single endpoint. Call this to see exactly what fields the request body expects and what the response contains. Returns the schema from the origin's OpenAPI spec. Optionally pass sample_input_body to probe the endpoint live (without payment) for an exact price quote — do this when pricing is dynamic (range-based or variable), or when you're unsure about the input schema. Treat auth mode as advisory: fetch handles both SIWX and paid routes.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agentcash MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on check_endpoint_schema? +

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

What risk level is check_endpoint_schema? +

check_endpoint_schema is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit check_endpoint_schema? +

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

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

check_endpoint_schema is provided by the Agentcash MCP server (agentcash). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
