Medium Risk

write

Save a value to agent memory

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

AI agents use write to create or modify resources in MiFactory. 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 write 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 MiFactory.

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

What does the write tool do? +

Save a value to agent memory. It is categorised as a Write tool in the MiFactory MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on write? +

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

What risk level is write? +

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

Can I rate-limit write? +

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

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

write is provided by the MiFactory MCP server (mifactory-bot/agent-memory). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
