Check your current Forge credit balance. Each single-GPU optimization costs 1 credit. Credits are only charged for successful optimizations (speedup >= 1.1x). Credits are lifetime (not monthly) and can be purchased on the dashboard.
Part of the Forge MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call forge_credits to retrieve information from Forge 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 forge_credits 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.

Check your current Forge credit balance. Each single-GPU optimization costs 1 credit. Credits are only charged for successful optimizations (speedup >= 1.1x). Credits are lifetime (not monthly) and can be purchased on the dashboard.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Forge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for forge_credits. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Forge MCP server.
forge_credits is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the forge_credits 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 forge_credits. 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.
forge_credits is provided by the Forge MCP server (@rightnow/forge-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
