strale_execute

Execute any Strale capability by slug. Returns the full result including output data, execution cost, latency, data provenance, and dual-profile quality assessment (SQS score, Quality grade, Reliability grade, execution guidance with retry strategy). Free capabilities (email-validate, dns-lookup,...

strale/agent-tools Execute Risk 3/5

AI agents invoke strale_execute to trigger processes or run actions in Strale. 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.

strale_execute 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.

  strale_execute:

What does the strale_execute tool do? +

Execute any Strale capability by slug. Returns the full result including output data, execution cost, latency, data provenance, and dual-profile quality assessment (SQS score, Quality grade, Reliability grade, execution guidance with retry strategy). Free capabilities (email-validate, dns-lookup, json-repair, url-to-markdown, iban-validate) work without an API key. For paid capabilities, provide an API key via Authorization header. Use strale_search to find capabilities and their required inputs.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Strale MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on strale_execute? +

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

What risk level is strale_execute? +

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

Can I rate-limit strale_execute? +

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

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

strale_execute is provided by the Strale MCP server (strale/agent-tools). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
