@timergy/mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use vote_on_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 vote_on_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 vote_on_poll tool do? +

Submit votes on a Timergy poll. First call get_poll to retrieve the available optionId values. Each vote maps an optionId to an availability: 'yes' (available), 'maybe' (might work), or 'no' (unavailable). A unique voter token is auto-generated per voter name. Resubmitting with the same voter name updates previous votes.. 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 vote_on_poll? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for vote_on_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 vote_on_poll? +

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

Can I rate-limit vote_on_poll? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the vote_on_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 vote_on_poll completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for vote_on_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 vote_on_poll? +

vote_on_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.
