Low Risk

get_provision

Retrieve a specific provision from a Finnish statute. Specify the statute number and either chapter+section or provision_ref directly. Examples: - document_id="1050/2018", chapter="1", section="1" → 1 luku 1 § - document_id="1050/2018", provision_ref="1:1" → same result - document_id="434/...

Single-target operation

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

AI agents call get_provision to retrieve information from Finnish 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.

What does the get_provision tool do? +

Retrieve a specific provision from a Finnish statute. Specify the statute number and either chapter+section or provision_ref directly. Examples: - document_id="1050/2018", chapter="1", section="1" → 1 luku 1 § - document_id="1050/2018", provision_ref="1:1" → same result - document_id="434/2003", section="6" → 6 § (flat lookup) Omit chapter/section/provision_ref to get all provisions in the statute. When NOT to use: If you are searching by keyword and don't know the exact statute/provision, use search_legislation instead.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Finnish Law MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on get_provision? +

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 Finnish Law MCP server.

What risk level is get_provision? +

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

Can I rate-limit get_provision? +

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.

How do I block get_provision completely? +

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.

What MCP server provides get_provision? +
