Single-target operation

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

AI agents call tvm_npv 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_npv 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_npv tool do? +

Net present value of a cash flow series at a given discount rate. Use when computing net present value of a series of cash flows. Provide discount rate and an array of cash flows (first is typically negative for initial investment). Returns: NPV, profitability index, and discounted cash flow breakdown.. 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_npv? +

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

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

Can I rate-limit tvm_npv? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the tvm_npv 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_npv completely? +

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

tvm_npv 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.
