What create_monitor does on MERX - TRON Resource Exchange

AI agents use create_monitor to create or update resources in MERX - TRON Resource Exchange — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MERX - TRON Resource Exchange environment.

Why create_monitor needs a policy

This tool creates and modifies state on the server by establishing persistent monitors that generate notifications. It is reversible (monitors can be cancelled via cancel_monitor sibling tool) and does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, move funds, or require financial transactions. The creation of monitoring infrastructure with notification side effects places it in Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a persistent server-side monitor' and 'fires notifications when a condition is met'. This creates a new monitoring resource that persists on the server and has side effects (triggering webhook notifications).

Questions about create_monitor

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? +

Register the MERX - TRON Resource Exchange MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_monitor: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches MERX - TRON Resource Exchange. Nothing to install.

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 PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer 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 (Hovsteder/merx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
