sundr-mcp Read

AI agents call trade_in_value to retrieve information from Sundr Repair Advisor 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.

Even though trade_in_value 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.

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

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

Can I rate-limit trade_in_value? +

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