Part of the Brandcode MCP MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call brand_brandcode_status 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_brandcode_status 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.

Inspect the Brandcode Studio connection for the current project. Read-only — reads .brand/brandcode-connector.json and .brand/brandcode-sync-history.json without making network requests. Shows connected brand slug, remote URL, sync token, last sync time, sync history, local package contents, and Phase 0 Brandcode MCP URL/status. Use when the user says "brandcode status", "check connection", "am I synced?", or "show brand connection". Returns structured connection data or a clear "not connected" message with instructions to run brand_brandcode_connect. NOT for syncing — use brand_brandcode_sync to pull updates.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Brandcode MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for brand_brandcode_status. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Brandcode MCP MCP server.
brand_brandcode_status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the brand_brandcode_status 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 brand_brandcode_status. 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.
brand_brandcode_status 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.
