Low Risk

list_blocks

List Chakra UI Pro blocks

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

AI agents call list_blocks to retrieve information from React 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 list_blocks 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 list_blocks tool do? +

List Chakra UI Pro blocks. It is categorised as a Read tool in the React MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on list_blocks? +

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

What risk level is list_blocks? +

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

Can I rate-limit list_blocks? +

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

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

list_blocks is provided by the React MCP server (@chakra-ui/react-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
