Validate an EDM artifact against the v0.4.0 schema and governance rules. Returns validation errors and warnings.
Part of the Deepadata Edm MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call validate_edm to retrieve information from Deepadata Edm 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 validate_edm 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.

Validate an EDM artifact against the v0.4.0 schema and governance rules. Returns validation errors and warnings.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Deepadata Edm MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for validate_edm. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Deepadata Edm MCP server.
validate_edm 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 validate_edm 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 validate_edm. 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.
validate_edm is provided by the Deepadata Edm MCP server (deepadata-edm-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
