reports_generate Rate-limited

reports_generate stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Questions about reports_generate

What does the reports_generate tool do? +

Generate an Anypoint operational report on demand (no caching). Three report types are available: • runtime_flow_count — Counts Mule flows per deployment across environments. Helps estimate billable flow usage. • api_manager_insecure_apis — Finds API Manager instances with no policies or missing required security policies. • metrics_api_health_summary — Summarizes API traffic, status codes, response time, and policy violations from the Metrics API. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Anypoint MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What risk level is reports_generate? +

reports_generate is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit reports_generate? +
