GetIntervals

Returns a list of available time intervals for data requests.

How to control GetIntervals ↓

AI agents call GetIntervals to retrieve information from Twelve Data MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves and returns informational data (available time intervals) with no side effects, modifications, or external execution. It is a simple query/list operation used for discovering API capabilities, making it a Read category tool with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetIntervals' and description 'Returns a list of available time intervals for data requests' indicate a retrieval operation that queries metadata about available intervals without modifying or executing any operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access GetIntervals gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Twelve Data MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for GetIntervals:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "GetIntervals": {}
  }
}

GetIntervals is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Twelve Data MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I block GetIntervals completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for GetIntervals. 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 GetIntervals? +
