flowforge_get_event

Get the full record of a single event — name, data payload, timestamp, and ingest metadata. Use after flowforge_list_events to inspect a specific event, or as a starting point for flowforge_list_runs (filter by the event's function matches).

Single-target operation

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

AI agents call flowforge_get_event to retrieve information from Flowforge 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 flowforge_get_event 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 flowforge_get_event tool do? +

Get the full record of a single event — name, data payload, timestamp, and ingest metadata. Use after flowforge_list_events to inspect a specific event, or as a starting point for flowforge_list_runs (filter by the event's function matches).. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Flowforge MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on flowforge_get_event? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for flowforge_get_event. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Flowforge MCP server.

What risk level is flowforge_get_event? +

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

Can I rate-limit flowforge_get_event? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the flowforge_get_event 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 flowforge_get_event completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for flowforge_get_event. 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 flowforge_get_event? +

flowforge_get_event is provided by the Flowforge MCP server (flowforge-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
