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

AI agents call autoform_detect_fields to retrieve information from Autoform 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 autoform_detect_fields 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 autoform_detect_fields tool do? +

Detecta campos de formulario AcroForm en un PDF interactivo Y correlaciona cada campo con su label visible extraido del texto del PDF. CUANDO USAR: - El PDF es un formulario donde puedes hacer click y escribir (AcroForm). - Quieres saber que campos tiene + como se llaman visualmente. QUE DEVUELVE: - Lista de campos AcroForm con nombre tecnico, tipo, pagina y coordenadas. - Para CADA campo, un "inferred_label" calculado automaticamente correlacionando la posicion del campo con el texto circundante del PDF. - "nearby_text": hasta 5 textos cercanos al campo, ordenados por relevancia. - "confidence": high/medium/low segun que tan claro es el label correlacionado. ⚠️ COMO USAR EL RESULTADO: - Si confidence es "high": confia en inferred_label y usalo directamente. - Si confidence es "medium": el label es probable pero verifica con nearby_text si tiene sentido. - Si confidence es "low": NO asumas — pregunta al usuario o mira el PDF visualmente si es posible. - NUNCA inventes el significado de un campo por su posicion o numero. SI EL PDF NO TIENE ACROFORM: esta tool devolvera has_acroform=false. En ese caso usa autoform_analyze_static_pdf. FLUJO RECOMENDADO PARA UN DOCUMENTO: 1. autoform_detect_fields → obtienes campos + inferred_labels 2. Usa autoform_fill_pdf con field_values={nombre_tecnico: valor} O usa autoform_fill_pdf con field_map si prefieres claves logicas FLUJO RECOMENDADO PARA MULTIPLES DOCUMENTOS: 1. autoform_detect_fields → obtienes campos + inferred_labels 2. Usa autoform_fill_batch_acroform con data_rows y field_map si las claves son logicas.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Autoform MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on autoform_detect_fields? +

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

What risk level is autoform_detect_fields? +

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

Can I rate-limit autoform_detect_fields? +

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

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

autoform_detect_fields is provided by the Autoform MCP server (autoform-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
