ue-mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use networking to create or modify resources in Ue. 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 networking 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 Ue.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the networking tool do? +

Networking and replication: actor replication, property replication, net relevancy, dormancy. Actions: - set_replicates: Enable actor replication. Params: blueprintPath, replicates? - set_property_replicated: Mark variable as replicated. Params: blueprintPath, propertyName, replicated?, replicationCondition?, repNotify? - configure_net_frequency: Set update frequency. Params: blueprintPath, netUpdateFrequency?, minNetUpdateFrequency? - set_dormancy: Set net dormancy. Params: blueprintPath, dormancy - set_net_load_on_client: Control client loading. Params: blueprintPath, loadOnClient? - set_always_relevant: Always network relevant. Params: blueprintPath, alwaysRelevant? - set_only_relevant_to_owner: Only relevant to owner. Params: blueprintPath, onlyRelevantToOwner? - configure_cull_distance: Net cull distance. Params: blueprintPath, netCullDistanceSquared? - set_priority: Net priority. Params: blueprintPath, netPriority? - set_replicate_movement: Replicate movement. Params: blueprintPath, replicateMovement? - get_info: Get networking info. Params: blueprintPath. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ue MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on networking? +

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

What risk level is networking? +

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

Can I rate-limit networking? +

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

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

networking is provided by the Ue MCP server (ue-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
