Set the primary ENS name (reverse resolution) for a wallet address. This controls what name is displayed when someone looks up your Ethereum address. For example, instead of seeing "0x1234...abcd", they'd see "myname.eth". Requirements: - You must own or control the ENS name - The name's ETH ad...
Part of the Name Whisper MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use set_primary_name to create or modify resources in Name Whisper. 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_primary_name 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 Name Whisper.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Set the primary ENS name (reverse resolution) for a wallet address. This controls what name is displayed when someone looks up your Ethereum address. For example, instead of seeing "0x1234...abcd", they'd see "myname.eth". Requirements: - You must own or control the ENS name - The name's ETH address record must point to your wallet - Only the wallet owner can set their own primary name If the ETH address record doesn't match, use set_ens_records first to update it. Only one primary name per address — setting a new one replaces the previous.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Name Whisper MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for set_primary_name. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Name Whisper MCP server.
set_primary_name is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_primary_name 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for set_primary_name. 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.
set_primary_name is provided by the Name Whisper MCP server (namewhisper/ens-tools). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
