whoami
Identify the authenticated user in Sentry
Part of the Sentry MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL
AI agents call whoami to perform operations in Sentry. 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 WHOAMI
Applying a policy to whoami 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 does the whoami tool do?

How do I enforce a policy on whoami?
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for whoami. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Sentry MCP server.
What risk level is whoami?
whoami is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Can I rate-limit whoami?
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the whoami 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 whoami completely?
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for whoami. 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 whoami?
