textforge/textforge Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use create_draft to create or modify resources in TextForge. 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 create_draft 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 TextForge.

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

How do I enforce a policy on create_draft? +

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

What risk level is create_draft? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_draft? +

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

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