wot_top

Get the top Web of Trust scores on Nostr. Shows the most trusted pubkeys based on PageRank analysis of the follow graph.

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

AI agents call wot_top to retrieve information from Maximum Sats 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 wot_top 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 wot_top tool do? +

Get the top Web of Trust scores on Nostr. Shows the most trusted pubkeys based on PageRank analysis of the follow graph.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Maximum Sats MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on wot_top? +

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

What risk level is wot_top? +

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

Can I rate-limit wot_top? +

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

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

wot_top is provided by the Maximum Sats MCP server (maximumsats/maximumsats). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
