find_untagged_resources

Finds resources that have no tags or labels applied. Returns each resource with its name, type, resource group/project, and location. Untagged resources cannot be attributed to teams or projects, making cost allocation and chargeback impossible. Returns an empty list if all resources are tagged. ...

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

AI agents call find_untagged_resources to retrieve information from Cloudscope 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 find_untagged_resources 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 find_untagged_resources tool do? +

Finds resources that have no tags or labels applied. Returns each resource with its name, type, resource group/project, and location. Untagged resources cannot be attributed to teams or projects, making cost allocation and chargeback impossible. Returns an empty list if all resources are tagged. Use this when the user asks about tagging compliance, governance, cost attribution gaps, or wants to identify resources that need tags or labels.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cloudscope MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on find_untagged_resources? +

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

What risk level is find_untagged_resources? +

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

Can I rate-limit find_untagged_resources? +

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

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

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