FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What tools does the Elasticsearch MCP server expose?

The Elasticsearch MCP Server exposes 5 tools across 2 categories: Read, Execute. Each tool can be individually controlled with Intercept policies.

How do I enforce policies on Elasticsearch?

Download the policy scaffold, add rules (rate limits, argument validation, deny rules), then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Elasticsearch MCP server. Every tool call is evaluated against your YAML policy before execution.

Is the Elasticsearch policy free to use?

Yes. All Intercept policies are open source under the Apache 2.0 licence. Download, modify, and deploy without restrictions.
