fx_forward-rate

Bootstrap forward rates from a spot yield curve. Use when bootstrapping forward rates from a yield curve. Provide spot rates at various tenors. Returns: implied forward rates between each tenor pair.

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

AI agents call fx_forward-rate to retrieve information from Quantoracle without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though fx_forward-rate only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the fx_forward-rate tool do? +

Bootstrap forward rates from a spot yield curve. Use when bootstrapping forward rates from a yield curve. Provide spot rates at various tenors. Returns: implied forward rates between each tenor pair.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Quantoracle MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on fx_forward-rate? +

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

What risk level is fx_forward-rate? +

fx_forward-rate is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit fx_forward-rate? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the fx_forward-rate 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 fx_forward-rate completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for fx_forward-rate. 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 fx_forward-rate? +

fx_forward-rate is provided by the Quantoracle MCP server (QuantOracle/quantoracle). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
