draft_press_release

FREE — Draft a press release using your own capabilities (no external API call). Call this AFTER the user has chosen a tier. This tool returns a writing brief — you write the press release yourself, then show the full draft to the human and wait for explicit approval before calling submit_press_r...

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

AI agents use draft_press_release to create or modify resources in Pressagent. 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 draft_press_release 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 Pressagent.

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

What does the draft_press_release tool do? +

FREE — Draft a press release using your own capabilities (no external API call). Call this AFTER the user has chosen a tier. This tool returns a writing brief — you write the press release yourself, then show the full draft to the human and wait for explicit approval before calling submit_press_release.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pressagent MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on draft_press_release? +

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

What risk level is draft_press_release? +

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

Can I rate-limit draft_press_release? +

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

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

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