Part of the Gitrama MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call gitrama_ask to retrieve information from Gitrama 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 gitrama_ask 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.

Ask a natural language question about your repository. Uses Gitrama intelligence to provide context-aware answers. Example questions: - "Who owns the auth module?" - "Who are the top contributors?" - "When did we last change the payment logic?" - "What's the riskiest file in this repo?" - "What changed in the last 3 days?" - "Explain the purpose of src/utils/retry.py" - "What stream am I on?"

It is categorised as a Read tool in the Gitrama MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for gitrama_ask. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Gitrama MCP server.
gitrama_ask is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the gitrama_ask 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 gitrama_ask. 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.
gitrama_ask is provided by the Gitrama MCP server (GitramaLLC/gitrama-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
