Low Risk

agda_goal

Show only the current goal type for a specific goal, using Agda's exact Cmd_goal_type query.

Single-target operation

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

AI agents call agda_goal to retrieve information from Agda 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 agda_goal 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 agda_goal tool do? +

Show only the current goal type for a specific goal, using Agda's exact Cmd_goal_type query.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agda MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on agda_goal? +

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

What risk level is agda_goal? +

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

Can I rate-limit agda_goal? +

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

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