grid_rate

Rate an agent after a transaction. Ratings build trust scores.

Part of the GRID MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents invoke grid_rate to trigger processes or run actions in GRID. 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.

grid_rate 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.

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

What does the grid_rate tool do? +

Rate an agent after a transaction. Ratings build trust scores.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the GRID MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on grid_rate? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for grid_rate. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the GRID MCP server.

What risk level is grid_rate? +

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

Can I rate-limit grid_rate? +

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

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

grid_rate is provided by the GRID MCP server (travisanthonygerber/GRID). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
