fleet-mcp Write Risk 4/5

AI agents use fleet_create_query to create or modify resources in Fleet. 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 fleet_create_query 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 Fleet.

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

What does the fleet_create_query tool do? +

Create a new saved query. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Fleet MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on fleet_create_query? +

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

What risk level is fleet_create_query? +

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

Can I rate-limit fleet_create_query? +

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

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

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