AI agents call adr_exemption_calculator to retrieve information from FreightUtils MCP Server 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 adr_exemption_calculator 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 adr_exemption_calculator tool do? +

Calculate ADR 1.1.3.6 exemption thresholds for mixed hazardous loads. ADR 1.1.3.6 allows reduced requirements when the total "points" of a mixed load are 1,000 or below. Each substance is assigned to a transport category (0-4) with a multiplier. Points = quantity x multiplier. Use this tool when you need to: - Check if a load of dangerous goods qualifies for the small load exemption - Calculate total ADR points for a mixed load - Determine if full ADR compliance is required For single substances, provide un_number + quantity. For mixed loads, use the items array.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FreightUtils MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on adr_exemption_calculator? +

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

What risk level is adr_exemption_calculator? +

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

Can I rate-limit adr_exemption_calculator? +

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

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

adr_exemption_calculator is provided by the FreightUtils MCP Server MCP server (freightutils-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
