Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

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

AI agents call codeloop_check_workflow to retrieve information from Codeloop 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 codeloop_check_workflow 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 codeloop_check_workflow tool do? +

[CodeLoop] You MUST call codeloop_verify after every code change. If .codeloop/config.json is missing, call codeloop_init_project FIRST. ENFORCEMENT CHECK: Call this tool BEFORE declaring any task complete or moving to the next task. It checks whether all required CodeLoop verification steps have been performed for the current project. If any steps are missing, it returns exactly what you still need to do — you MUST complete those steps before proceeding. This is the CodeLoop quality enforcement mechanism. If you skip this check, the development log will be incomplete and the project will lack proper verification evidence. Call this tool: - After making ANY code change (to check if you need to run codeloop_verify) - Before marking a feature as done (to check if screenshots/video/gate_check are needed) - At the end of a development session (to check if the dev report needs to be generated) Returns: checklist of completed and pending verification steps.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Codeloop MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on codeloop_check_workflow? +

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

What risk level is codeloop_check_workflow? +

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

Can I rate-limit codeloop_check_workflow? +

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

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

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