AI agents call get_provision_at_date 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_at_date 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 Finnish statute provision text as it read on a specific date (time-travel query). This tool enables historical legal research by showing how a provision was worded at any point in time, accounting for all amendments since original enactment. Use cases: - "What did Tietosuojalaki 1:3 say in 2019?" - "Show me Rikoslaki 3:1 before the 2019 amendment" - "Was this provision in force on 2020-06-15?" Supports: - Historical versions (any date in the past) - Current version (today's date) - Future provisions (enacted but not yet in force) Returns the complete provision text, validity dates, and optionally the amendment history showing what changed after the queried date.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Finnish 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_at_date. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Finnish Law MCP server.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_provision_at_date 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_at_date. 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.
