Open a vault/CDP via DSProxy. Idempotent: if a vault for the given ilk already exists, returns the existing CDP id without submitting a transaction.
Part of the Usdd Test MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use open_vault to create or modify resources in Usdd Test. 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 open_vault 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 Usdd Test.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Open a vault/CDP via DSProxy. Idempotent: if a vault for the given ilk already exists, returns the existing CDP id without submitting a transaction.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Usdd Test MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for open_vault. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Usdd Test MCP server.
open_vault is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the open_vault 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for open_vault. 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.
open_vault is provided by the Usdd Test MCP server (mcp-server-usdd-test). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
