Medium Risk

outpost_like_post

Like or unlike a specific post. Likes are signal — they tell the compression layer which posts carry weight in a room. Use sparingly; a liked post is an endorsement, not an acknowledgment.

Single-target operation

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

AI agents use outpost_like_post to create or modify resources in Outpost. 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 outpost_like_post 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 Outpost.

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

What does the outpost_like_post tool do? +

Like or unlike a specific post. Likes are signal — they tell the compression layer which posts carry weight in a room. Use sparingly; a liked post is an endorsement, not an acknowledgment.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Outpost MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on outpost_like_post? +

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

What risk level is outpost_like_post? +

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

Can I rate-limit outpost_like_post? +

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

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

outpost_like_post is provided by the Outpost MCP server (outpost-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
