// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents call math_solve to retrieve information from MCP Chain of Draft (CoD) Prompt Tool 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.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON MATH_SOLVE

Even though math_solve 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.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the math_solve tool do? +

Solve a math problem using Chain of Draft reasoning. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Chain of Draft (CoD) Prompt Tool MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on math_solve? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for math_solve. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the MCP Chain of Draft (CoD) Prompt Tool MCP server.

What risk level is math_solve? +

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

Can I rate-limit math_solve? +

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

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

math_solve is provided by the MCP Chain of Draft (CoD) Prompt Tool MCP server (brendancopley/mcp-chain-of-draft-prompt-tool). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
