Medium Risk

generate_research_questions

Analyze text or an existing graph and generate innovative research questions based on the content gaps identified between the topical clusters. Provide either text, url, or graphName. Can be used to improve the text and the discourse it relates to

Accepts URL/endpoint input (url)

infranodus-mcp-server Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use generate_research_questions to create or modify resources in Infranodus. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call generate_research_questions repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Infranodus.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the generate_research_questions tool do? +

Analyze text or an existing graph and generate innovative research questions based on the content gaps identified between the topical clusters. Provide either text, url, or graphName. Can be used to improve the text and the discourse it relates to. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Infranodus MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_research_questions? +

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

What risk level is generate_research_questions? +

generate_research_questions is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit generate_research_questions? +

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

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

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