AI agents call get_kpis to retrieve information from ATOM Pricing Intelligence 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 get_kpis 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 get_kpis tool do? +

ATOM Inference Price Index (AIPI) market-level KPIs. Returns 6 key performance indicators derived from 1,600+ SKUs: - Output Premium: how much more output tokens cost vs input - Caching Savings: average discount for cached input pricing - Open Source Advantage: price difference between open-source and proprietary - Context Cost Curve: price multiplier for larger context windows - Caching Availability: % of models offering cached pricing - Size Spread: price ratio between largest and smallest models These KPIs are available to all tiers — they demonstrate ATOM's market intelligence.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ATOM Pricing Intelligence MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_kpis? +

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

What risk level is get_kpis? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_kpis? +

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

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

get_kpis is provided by the ATOM Pricing Intelligence MCP server (atom-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
