Batch audit multiple content items to detect systematic brand drift. Scores each item against brand identity, computes corpus-level statistics (mean, median, stddev), and identifies recurring patterns across items (e.g., same off-palette color in 4/5 items).

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

AI agents call brand_audit_drift to retrieve information from Brandcode MCP 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 brand_audit_drift 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 brand_audit_drift tool do? +

Batch audit multiple content items to detect systematic brand drift. Scores each item against brand identity, computes corpus-level statistics (mean, median, stddev), and identifies recurring patterns across items (e.g., same off-palette color in 4/5 items). Writes a detailed drift report to .brand/drift-report.md. Use when reviewing a content corpus, auditing a website, or checking whether brand identity is being applied consistently across multiple pieces.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Brandcode MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on brand_audit_drift? +

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

What risk level is brand_audit_drift? +

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

Can I rate-limit brand_audit_drift? +

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

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

brand_audit_drift is provided by the Brandcode MCP MCP server (@brandsystem/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
