// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call Cross-platform to retrieve information from MCP Cloudflare 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON CROSS-PLATFORM

Even though Cross-platform 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.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the Cross-platform tool do? +

Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Cloudflare MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on Cross-platform? +

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

What risk level is Cross-platform? +

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

Can I rate-limit Cross-platform? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the Cross-platform 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 Cross-platform completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for Cross-platform. 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 Cross-platform? +

Cross-platform is provided by the MCP Cloudflare MCP server (mcp-cloudflare-crunchtools). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
