brand_assets

Scrape a domain's homepage `<head>` for public brand assets — favicon, og:image, theme-color, og:site_name, JSON-LD `Organization.logo`. Use to enrich CRM records, build company-card UIs, or correlate a lead's site to their visual identity (no manual screenshot required). Strictly homepage-only (...

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

AI agents invoke brand_assets to trigger processes or run actions in ContrastAPI. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

brand_assets can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the brand_assets tool do? +

Scrape a domain's homepage `<head>` for public brand assets — favicon, og:image, theme-color, og:site_name, JSON-LD `Organization.logo`. Use to enrich CRM records, build company-card UIs, or correlate a lead's site to their visual identity (no manual screenshot required). Strictly homepage-only (path `/`); we do NOT crawl. Ethical floor: target's robots.txt is honoured — `Disallow: /` for ContrastAPI OR `*` returns 403 `error.code = robots_txt_disallow` and we DO NOT fetch. `Cache-Control: no-store` / `private` from the target is respected (response is built but NOT written to our cache; `cache_respected=false` flags this). Per-target eTLD+1 throttle (60 req/min) prevents weaponising via subdomain rotation. All URL fields are absolute and `_untrusted` (DO NOT execute or shell-out — the target controls these strings). Free: 30/hr, Pro: 500/hr. Returns {domain, fetched_url, status_code, favicon_url_untrusted, og_image_url_untrusted, theme_color, site_name_untrusted, logo_url_untrusted, cache_respected, summary}. Returns 502 on DNS/TCP/TLS failure; 403 `robots_txt_disallow` when the target opted out.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the ContrastAPI MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on brand_assets? +

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

What risk level is brand_assets? +

brand_assets is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit brand_assets? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the brand_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.

How do I block brand_assets completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for brand_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.

What MCP server provides brand_assets? +

brand_assets is provided by the ContrastAPI MCP server (contrastcyber/contrastapi). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
