Low Risk

server_health

Checks whether the DECIMER FastAPI server is reachable.

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

AI agents call server_health to perform operations in DECIMER MCP Server. While the risk category is not fully classified, applying a rate limit gives you visibility into how often the tool is called and prevents unexpected bursts of activity from autonomous agents.

Applying a policy to server_health gives you an audit trail of every call an AI agent makes. Even for low-risk tools, visibility into agent behaviour helps you debug issues, optimise workflows, and maintain compliance with your organisation's security requirements.

Apply a rate limit to control usage and monitor for unexpected behaviour.

What does the server_health tool do? +

Checks whether the DECIMER FastAPI server is reachable.. It is categorised as a Other tool in the DECIMER MCP Server MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on server_health? +

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

What risk level is server_health? +

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

Can I rate-limit server_health? +

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

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

server_health is provided by the DECIMER MCP Server MCP server (decimer-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
