Low Risk

tvm_irr

Internal rate of return via Newton-Raphson. First cash flow is typically negative (investment). Use when computing the internal rate of return for a cash flow series. Provide an array of cash flows. Returns: IRR (decimal), annualized IRR, and NPV at the computed IRR (should be ~0).

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

AI agents call tvm_irr 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 tvm_irr 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 tvm_irr tool do? +

Internal rate of return via Newton-Raphson. First cash flow is typically negative (investment). Use when computing the internal rate of return for a cash flow series. Provide an array of cash flows. Returns: IRR (decimal), annualized IRR, and NPV at the computed IRR (should be ~0).. 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 tvm_irr? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for tvm_irr. 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 tvm_irr? +

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

Can I rate-limit tvm_irr? +

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

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

tvm_irr 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.
