peaka_update_cache

Update cache settings on an existing cache in the Peaka project. This endpoint replaces — not merges — the schedules, so both incrementalSchedule and fullRefreshSchedule must be supplied with the full intended state every call. Schedule expressions use ISO-8601 durations (e.g. PT6H, P1D, P7D, P30...

Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

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

AI agents use peaka_update_cache to create or modify resources in Peaka. 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 peaka_update_cache 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 Peaka.

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

What does the peaka_update_cache tool do? +

Update cache settings on an existing cache in the Peaka project. This endpoint replaces — not merges — the schedules, so both incrementalSchedule and fullRefreshSchedule must be supplied with the full intended state every call. Schedule expressions use ISO-8601 durations (e.g. PT6H, P1D, P7D, P30D). If you do not already know the projectId for the current task, call peaka_list_projects first and ask the user which project to use. Remember the chosen projectId for subsequent calls in this conversation.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Peaka MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on peaka_update_cache? +

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

What risk level is peaka_update_cache? +

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

Can I rate-limit peaka_update_cache? +

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

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

peaka_update_cache is provided by the Peaka MCP server (@peaka/mcp-server-peaka). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
