MCP Tool Reference Low Risk

get_sentry_resource

Fetch a Sentry resource by URL or by type and ID

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

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call get_sentry_resource to retrieve information from Sentry 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.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON GET_SENTRY_RESOURCE

Even though get_sentry_resource 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.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

sentry.yaml
tools:
  get_sentry_resource:
    rules:
      - action: allow

How do I enforce a policy on get_sentry_resource?

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

What risk level is get_sentry_resource?

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

Can I rate-limit get_sentry_resource?

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_sentry_resource 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 get_sentry_resource completely?

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get_sentry_resource. 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 get_sentry_resource?

get_sentry_resource is provided by the Sentry MCP server (getsentry/sentry-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
