Create a persistent server-side monitor that fires notifications when a condition is met. Four monitor types: delegation_expiry (warns when leased energy is about to expire so you can re-rent), balance_threshold (fires when an address goes below a TRX/USDT level), price_alert (fires when energy/b...

merx-mcp Write

AI agents use create_monitor to create or modify resources in MERX - TRON Resource Exchange. 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 create_monitor 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 MERX - TRON Resource Exchange.

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

What does the create_monitor tool do? +

Create a persistent server-side monitor that fires notifications when a condition is met. Four monitor types: delegation_expiry (warns when leased energy is about to expire so you can re-rent), balance_threshold (fires when an address goes below a TRX/USDT level), price_alert (fires when energy/bandwidth price crosses a SUN threshold), address_activity (fires on any incoming TX). Notification defaults to webhook=true if omitted. Auth required (API key).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the MERX - TRON Resource Exchange MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_monitor? +

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

What risk level is create_monitor? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_monitor? +

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

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

create_monitor is provided by the MERX - TRON Resource Exchange MCP server (merx-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
