redis_slowlog

Show Redis slow queries — find commands that took too long to execute

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

AI agents invoke redis_slowlog to trigger processes or run actions in Sentinal. 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.

redis_slowlog 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.

What does the redis_slowlog tool do? +

Show Redis slow queries — find commands that took too long to execute. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Sentinal MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on redis_slowlog? +

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

What risk level is redis_slowlog? +

redis_slowlog is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit redis_slowlog? +

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

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

redis_slowlog is provided by the Sentinal MCP server (@md-musaraf/sentinal-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
