Part of the Belgian Law MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call get_provision to retrieve information from Belgian Law 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_provision 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.

Retrieve the full text of a specific provision (article/section) from a Belgian statute. Specify a document_id and optionally a section number or provision_ref to get a single provision. Omit section/provision_ref to get ALL provisions in the statute (use sparingly — can be large). Use as_of_date to retrieve the historical version of a provision valid on a specific date. Returns provision text, chapter, section number, and metadata. Use this when you know WHICH provision you want. For discovery, use search_legislation instead.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Belgian Law MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for get_provision. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Belgian Law MCP server.
get_provision 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_provision 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_provision. 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_provision is provided by the Belgian Law MCP server (@ansvar/belgian-law-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
