muteUser

Mute a user to hide their posts from the authenticated user timeline.

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

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call muteUser to perform operations in Xdevplatform/xmcp. While the risk category is not fully classified, applying a rate limit gives you visibility into how often the tool is called and prevents unexpected bursts of activity from autonomous agents.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON MUTEUSER

Applying a policy to muteUser gives you an audit trail of every call an AI agent makes. Even for low-risk tools, visibility into agent behaviour helps you debug issues, optimise workflows, and maintain compliance with your organisation's security requirements.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Apply a rate limit to control usage and monitor for unexpected behaviour.

What risk level is muteUser? +

muteUser is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit muteUser? +

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

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

muteUser is provided by the Xdevplatform/xmcp MCP server (xdevplatform/xmcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
