Medium Risk

register_user

Register a new user account with email and password. Returns user UID on success.

Handles credentials or secrets (password)

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

AI agents use register_user to create or modify resources in Sychev Lab. 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 register_user 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 Sychev Lab.

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

What does the register_user tool do? +

Register a new user account with email and password. Returns user UID on success.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sychev Lab MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on register_user? +

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

What risk level is register_user? +

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

Can I rate-limit register_user? +

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

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

register_user is provided by the Sychev Lab MCP server (sychev-lab-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
