Single-target operation

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

AI agents call invarium_get_workflow to retrieve information from Invarium 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 invarium_get_workflow 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 invarium_get_workflow tool do? +

Get the complete Invarium QA workflow or a specific phase. MUST be called before starting any work with Invarium tools. Returns step-by-step instructions for behavioral testing of AI agents. NOTE: No auth required — this tool must work before invarium_connect to bootstrap the workflow. Content is instructional text only. Args: phase: Which phase to return. Use "all" for the full workflow, or a specific phase: "setup", "registration", "testing", "execution", "results", "reporting", "tools".. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Invarium MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on invarium_get_workflow? +

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

What risk level is invarium_get_workflow? +

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

Can I rate-limit invarium_get_workflow? +

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

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

invarium_get_workflow is provided by the Invarium MCP server (invarium-ai/invarium). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
