AI agents call brand_ingest_assets 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_ingest_assets 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.

Scan and catalog brand assets (illustrations, stickers, patterns, icons) in .brand/assets/. Mode 'scan' (default) inventories all asset subdirectories and identifies files not yet in MANIFEST.yaml. Mode 'tag' adds metadata to a specific file (description, usage context, theme compatibility) and writes to MANIFEST.yaml. Read-only in scan mode; writes MANIFEST.yaml in tag mode. Use after adding asset files to .brand/assets/ subdirectories. Use when the user says 'catalog assets', 'what assets do I have', or 'tag this illustration'. Returns directory summaries with file counts, untagged file lists, and tagged file details. NOT for logo management — use brand_set_logo. NOT for brand extraction — use brand_extract_web.. 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_ingest_assets. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Brandcode MCP MCP server.
brand_ingest_assets 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_ingest_assets 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_ingest_assets. 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_ingest_assets 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.
