Run a model and get prediction result

Executes AI model inference

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

@mcp-replicate Execute Risk 4/5

AI agents invoke create_prediction to trigger processes or run actions in Replicate. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

create_prediction can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the create_prediction tool do? +

Run a model and get prediction result. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Replicate MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on create_prediction? +

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

What risk level is create_prediction? +

create_prediction is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit create_prediction? +

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

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

create_prediction is provided by the Replicate MCP server (@mcp-replicate). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
