mund_acknowledge_alert

Mark a security event/alert as acknowledged. Args: - event_id (string): ID of the event to acknowledge - acknowledged_by (string): Optional name/ID of acknowledger Returns: Confirmation of acknowledgment

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

AI agents call mund_acknowledge_alert to retrieve information from Mund 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 mund_acknowledge_alert 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 mund_acknowledge_alert tool do? +

Mark a security event/alert as acknowledged. Args: - event_id (string): ID of the event to acknowledge - acknowledged_by (string): Optional name/ID of acknowledger Returns: Confirmation of acknowledgment. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mund MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on mund_acknowledge_alert? +

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

What risk level is mund_acknowledge_alert? +

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

Can I rate-limit mund_acknowledge_alert? +

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

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

mund_acknowledge_alert is provided by the Mund MCP server (@weave_protocol/mund). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
