Part of the Nocturnusai MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use context to create or modify resources in Nocturnusai. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call context repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Nocturnusai.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Get the most relevant knowledge for the current reasoning step, ranked by composite salience (recency × frequency × priority). Returns a token-optimized context window in 'predicate', 'natural', or 'structured' format. Pass goals for goal-driven selection, sessionId for incremental diffs across turns. Side effects: read-only for stored facts (salience access counters may update internally). Auth: requires X-Tenant-ID header; FACT_READ permission when auth is enabled. Rate-limited per principal. Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR on bad args.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Nocturnusai MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for context. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Nocturnusai MCP server.
context is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the context 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for context. 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.
context is provided by the Nocturnusai MCP server (nocturnusai-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
