rfi-irfos/ternlang Execute Risk 4/5

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke ternlang_run to trigger processes or run actions in Ternary Intelligence Stack. 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON TERNLANG_RUN

ternlang_run 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.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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

rfi-irfos-ternlang.yaml

  ternlang_run:

// FAQ

What does the ternlang_run tool do? +

Compile and run a complete .tern source program on the BET VM. Use for multi-statement programs, function definitions, struct usage, agent spawning, and tensor operations.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Ternary Intelligence Stack MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on ternlang_run? +

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

What risk level is ternlang_run? +

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

Can I rate-limit ternlang_run? +

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

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

ternlang_run is provided by the Ternary Intelligence Stack MCP server (rfi-irfos/ternlang). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
