AI agents call get_patient_by_mobile to retrieve information from Eka EMR 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 get_patient_by_mobile 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.

Find patient by exact mobile number. CRITICAL: You MUST ask the user for their mobile number before calling this tool. DO NOT call this tool if you don't have the mobile number. Format: +<country_code><number> - India: +91XXXXXXXXX - US: +1XXXXXXXXXX When to use: - User provides their mobile number - User is trying to book appointment → Ask: "What's your mobile number?" → Use this tool - If mobile number not provided or not found, use list_patients instead DO NOT use when: - No mobile number available Returns: Patient with oid (patient_id). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Eka EMR MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_patient_by_mobile. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Eka EMR MCP server.
get_patient_by_mobile 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 get_patient_by_mobile 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 get_patient_by_mobile. 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.
get_patient_by_mobile is provided by the Eka EMR MCP server (eka-care/emr). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
