Extract the first valid JSON object or array embedded in chaotic LLM output (surrounded by markdown fences, prose, or explanatory text). Handles json blocks and inline JSON. Call this whenever an LLM returns structured data mixed with explanation text instead of raw JSON.

AI agents call extract_json_from_text to retrieve information from Ia Qa Com/mcp llm and RAG testing Dev/QA toolbox 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 extract_json_from_text 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.

Extract the first valid JSON object or array embedded in chaotic LLM output (surrounded by markdown fences, prose, or explanatory text). Handles json blocks and inline JSON. Call this whenever an LLM returns structured data mixed with explanation text instead of raw JSON.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ia Qa Com/mcp llm and RAG testing Dev/QA toolbox MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ia Qa Com/mcp llm and RAG testing Dev/QA toolbox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for extract_json_from_text: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ia Qa Com/mcp llm and RAG testing Dev/QA toolbox. Nothing to install.
extract_json_from_text 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 extract_json_from_text rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for extract_json_from_text. 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.
extract_json_from_text is provided by the Ia Qa Com/mcp llm and RAG testing Dev/QA toolbox MCP server (ia-qa/api). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
