Medium Risk

create_poll

Create a Timergy scheduling poll (like Doodle) where participants vote on preferred time slots. Provide a title and at least 2-5 time slot options with ISO 8601 date-times (include timezone, e.g. 2026-03-20T18:00:00+02:00 or use UTC with Z suffix). Returns a shareable URL to send to participants ...

High parameter count (12 properties); Admin/system-level operation

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

@timergy/mcp Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use create_poll to create or modify resources in Timergy. 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_poll 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 Timergy.

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

What does the create_poll tool do? +

Create a Timergy scheduling poll (like Doodle) where participants vote on preferred time slots. Provide a title and at least 2-5 time slot options with ISO 8601 date-times (include timezone, e.g. 2026-03-20T18:00:00+02:00 or use UTC with Z suffix). Returns a shareable URL to send to participants and a passphrase for admin access. The passphrase is automatically remembered for finalize_poll. Set autoFinalize=true with a deadline to automatically pick the best option when the deadline passes. Use invitees to send email invitations with direct voting links. Workflow: create_poll -> share URL -> wait for votes -> get_results -> finalize_poll (or use auto-finalize).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Timergy MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_poll? +

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

What risk level is create_poll? +

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

Can I rate-limit create_poll? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_poll 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_poll completely? +

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

create_poll is provided by the Timergy MCP server (@timergy/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
