@timergy/mcp Write Risk 3/5

AI agents use invite_to_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 invite_to_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 invite_to_poll tool do? +

Invite people to an existing poll by email. Use list_contacts first to find email addresses. Requires authentication via per-call oauthToken/apiKey, or pre-configured via --oauth-token/--api-key CLI flags. The poll must be open and owned by the authenticated user. Invitees receive an email with a direct voting link. Max 50 invitees per call.. 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 invite_to_poll? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for invite_to_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 invite_to_poll? +

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

Can I rate-limit invite_to_poll? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the invite_to_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 invite_to_poll completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for invite_to_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 invite_to_poll? +

invite_to_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.
