Create a Timergy survey (choice poll) where participants vote on text options instead of time slots. Provide a title and at least 2 text options (e.g. restaurant names, activity choices).

Admin/system-level operation
Part of the Timergy MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use create_survey 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_survey 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.

Create a Timergy survey (choice poll) where participants vote on text options instead of time slots. Provide a title and at least 2 text options (e.g. restaurant names, activity choices). Returns a shareable URL and a passphrase for admin access. Use for decisions like 'Where should we eat?', 'Which logo?', 'What activity?'. Workflow: create_survey -> share URL -> wait for votes -> get_results -> finalize_poll.. 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.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for create_survey. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Timergy MCP server.
create_survey is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_survey 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for create_survey. 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.
create_survey 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.
