@timergy/mcp Execute Risk 3/5

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke suggest_best_option to trigger processes or run actions in Timergy. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON SUGGEST_BEST_OPTION

suggest_best_option can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the suggest_best_option tool do? +

Analyze votes and suggest the best time slot for a poll. Returns all options ranked by score (yes=1, maybe=0.5). Tiebreaker: fewest no-votes, then earliest start. Use this before finalize_poll to let the AI pick the optimal slot, or to show the user a recommendation.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Timergy MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on suggest_best_option? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for suggest_best_option. 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 suggest_best_option? +

suggest_best_option is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit suggest_best_option? +

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

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

suggest_best_option 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.
