Get poll metadata and time slot options (but NOT votes). Returns title, status, deadline, location, and all available time slots with their option IDs. Use this to retrieve optionId values needed for vote_on_poll or finalize_poll. To see who voted, use get_results instead.
Part of the Timergy MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call get_poll to retrieve information from Timergy 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 get_poll 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.

Get poll metadata and time slot options (but NOT votes). Returns title, status, deadline, location, and all available time slots with their option IDs. Use this to retrieve optionId values needed for vote_on_poll or finalize_poll. To see who voted, use get_results instead.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Timergy MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_poll. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Timergy MCP server.
get_poll is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for get_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.
get_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.
