AI agents use generate_show_notes_section to create or modify resources in Podcast Commerce Intelligence. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call generate_show_notes_section repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Podcast Commerce Intelligence.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the generate_show_notes_section tool do? +

Format extracted podcast products into a shoppable show notes section. Returns a ready-to-paste markdown or HTML product list, grouped by endorsement strength (strong/moderate/mention), with affiliate links where resolved. Use after extract_podcast_products — either pass episode_id to use cached extraction, or pass products[] directly. Handles null affiliate_link gracefully (shows product name without link). Format: markdown (default) produces copy-paste text for show notes editors; html produces embeddable markup. Style: full (default) groups by endorsement with context quotes; minimal produces a compact list.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Podcast Commerce Intelligence MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_show_notes_section? +

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

How do I block generate_show_notes_section completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for generate_show_notes_section. 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.
