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

AI agents call act to retrieve information from Oculo without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though act only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the act tool do? +

Perform an action in Oculo browser: click, navigate, scroll, press key, hover, type, login. Elements found by ref (from a11y snapshot), text, role, label, placeholder, or CSS selector.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Oculo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on act? +

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

What risk level is act? +

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

Can I rate-limit act? +

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

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

act is provided by the Oculo MCP server (xidik12/oculo). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
