MCP Tool Reference High Risk

deploy

Deploy to an environment

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

triggerdotdev/trigger.dev Execute

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke deploy to trigger processes or run actions in Trigger.dev. 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 DEPLOY

deploy 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.

trigger-dev.yaml 
tools:
  deploy:
    rules:
      - action: allow
        rate_limit:
          max: 10
          window: 60
        validate:
          required_args: true

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does the deploy tool do?

Deploy to an environment. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Trigger.dev MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on deploy?

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

What risk level is deploy?

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

Can I rate-limit deploy?

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the deploy 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 deploy completely?

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for deploy. 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 deploy?

deploy is provided by the Trigger.dev MCP server (triggerdotdev/trigger.dev). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
