Part of the French Law MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents invoke build_legal_stance to trigger processes or run actions in French Law. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
build_legal_stance can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Build a comprehensive set of citations for a legal question by searching across all indexed French statutes. Runs multiple query strategies (exact phrase, individual terms, prefix expansion) and aggregates results. COVERAGE NOTE: This server indexes 8 major French codes (~29,935 provisions) from Legifrance open data. It is NOT a complete corpus of all French legislation. Always verify against legifrance.gouv.fr for legal certainty. Use this tool when: Researching a broad legal topic and need comprehensive references. Do NOT use this tool when: Looking for a single specific provision — use get_provision or search_legislation.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the French Law MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for build_legal_stance. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the French Law MCP server.
build_legal_stance is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the build_legal_stance 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 build_legal_stance. 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.
build_legal_stance is provided by the French Law MCP server (@ansvar/french-law-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
