Medium Risk

set_private_key

Set your TRON private key for this session. Address is derived automatically. Enables write tools: transfer_trx, transfer_trc20, approve_trc20, execute_swap, deposit_trx. Key stays local - never sent to Merx servers.

Handles credentials or secrets (private_key)

Part of the MERX - TRON Resource Exchange MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

merx-mcp Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use set_private_key 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 set_private_key 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 set_private_key tool do? +

Set your TRON private key for this session. Address is derived automatically. Enables write tools: transfer_trx, transfer_trc20, approve_trc20, execute_swap, deposit_trx. Key stays local - never sent to Merx servers.. 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 set_private_key? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit set_private_key? +

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

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

set_private_key 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.
