@weave_protocol/mund Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use mund_allowlist_pattern to create or modify resources in Mund. 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 mund_allowlist_pattern 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 Mund.

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

What does the mund_allowlist_pattern tool do? +

Add a pattern to the allowlist. Allowlisted patterns will be ignored by detection rules. Args: - pattern (string): Pattern to allowlist - type: Type of pattern Returns: Confirmation of allowlist addition. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mund MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on mund_allowlist_pattern? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for mund_allowlist_pattern. 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_allowlist_pattern? +

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

Can I rate-limit mund_allowlist_pattern? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mund_allowlist_pattern 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_allowlist_pattern completely? +

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

mund_allowlist_pattern 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.
