Low Risk

toolrank_suggest

Generates specific improvement suggestions for MCP tool definitions to increase their ToolRank Score. Use this when you have a low score and want actionable fix recommendations. Returns rewritten description, improved schema, and estimated score improvement for each suggestion.

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

AI agents call toolrank_suggest to perform operations in Toolrank. While the risk category is not fully classified, applying a rate limit gives you visibility into how often the tool is called and prevents unexpected bursts of activity from autonomous agents.

Applying a policy to toolrank_suggest gives you an audit trail of every call an AI agent makes. Even for low-risk tools, visibility into agent behaviour helps you debug issues, optimise workflows, and maintain compliance with your organisation's security requirements.

Apply a rate limit to control usage and monitor for unexpected behaviour.
